The fight to save St.Fittick's Park reaches Scotland's highest court
A general view of the Court of Session in Edinburgh

CAMPAIGNERS in one of Aberdeen’s most deprived areas have gone to Scotland’s highest court to save their last remaining green space.

Aberdeen City Council plans to turn St Fittick’s Park in Torry over to Energy Transition Zone Ltd (ETZ), whose 2023 application for the site included making the area a “centre of excellence” for hydrogen technologies, building an offshore wind campus, a skills campus, and an innovation campus.

ETZ Ltd, brainchild of Aberdeen oil services billionaire Sir Ian Wood, is a not-for-profit private company, backed to the tune of £60 million so far by both UK and Scottish governments in the name of creating a just transition.
