 Aberdeen City Council has agreed to appoint a new operator for an E-Bike hire scheme in the City Centre. The decision was made by the Finance and Resources Committee on 21 November 2025.  The scheme is set to launch in Spring 2026 with at least 200 E-Bikes available for hire around the clock via a Mobile Phone app. The previous scheme ended in Spring 2024, and public interest has prompted its reinstatement. Aberdeen City Council will provide £200,000 from the Low Emission Zone surplus to support operations over three years, with no further funding expected as the scheme aims to become self-sustaining. The operator will handle all aspects including infrastructure, maintenance, and reporting, with compliance to performance indicators required. Profit-sharing will apply if the contract extends to years four and five.

 A tree has been felled at Deer Road Park, also known as Station Road Playground, adjacent to the Station House Media Unit and Salvation Army buildings in the Woodside region of Aberdeen. The incident comes in the wake of last week's storm that struck the North East of Britain, with Grampian particularly hard-hit by high winds and heavy rainfall. It remains unclear if the tree was damaged during the adverse conditions or if it was intentionally removed.  Local authorities - including Aberdeen City Council - have been informed, and an assessment is underway to determine the cause and ensure the safety of the area. |
