Drivers to be banned from parking on Aberdeen street for four days

A parking ban is to be put in place on a city road for work by a telecommunications giant.

Aberdeen City Council is imposing a restriction on waiting either side of Hilton Street while work is carried out by BT.

The work will take place from 8am on January 15 for four days until 10pm January 19.

Fraser Bell, head of legal and democratic services at the local authority, warned drivers that their vehicle would be removed during the works.

He said: “Illegally parked vehicles will be removed at the owner’s expense.

“The measure is necessary to protect public safety during BT Openreach works.”
