Spaces for People - Timber Decking and Parklet Redistribution

At the Aberdeen City Council City Growth and Resources Committee of Friday 12th Nov the Committee voted to remove the majority of the Spaces for People infrastructure in the city centre by the end of the month.

The decking and the other wooden structures used in the Spaces for People initiative are now being offered to Community Groups.

The following items have been uplifted from the city centre and placed in ACC storage meantime. The focus for distribution will be on groups within Aberdeen’s regeneration areas, and the units are likely to suit allotments and community gardens for a variety of uses and would become the property of those groups thereafter.

The units comprise:

* 2.4m x 2.4m timber decking
* 1.6 x 2.4m timber decking
* 0.8m x 2.4m bench and planters
* small number of triangular shaped decks 2.4m x 2.4m

If your community group have a use and would like to apply, the following information will be required

The name of the group

The proposed use of the items

Commitment to own and maintain thereafter

The draft redistribution list is to be presented for ACC Administration Leaders consideration, and an early call on interest would be invaluable.
