    Bid for talks at Aberdeen City Council over Marischal Square scheme | Scotland | News

    In January, council finance boss Willie Young told STV Aberdeen abandoning the project would force the city to “repay the developers over £100m in cancellation fees”.

    However, it later emerged the sum referred to by the Labour councillor was actually potential profit which would be lost if the Marischal Square development was scrapped - not a cancellation penalty.

    Hahaha minestrone sockie !!!

    Aberdeen is in the doldrums because of the Labour-led council picking fights with the Scottish government and not spending money where the people of Aberdeen want it spent.

    7 councillors are in trouble for sending out No propaganda with the council tax bills.

    How do you get 'fooked by Westminster' when you don't even live in the UK ?

    Would have made UK a better place to live. You don't miss the Scots or Welsh, do you?
