The council backed down and the plans for the recycling plant were officially scrapped. My heart is so full knowing our park and the paths our kids walk to school every day will remain untouched. Thank you for staying by my side to protect this place.

The residents and parents of Hazelehead Primary are petitioning against the Council & SITA building a recycling plant in one of the most beautiful areas in Aberdeen. We are against, the traffic volume that will increase, the safety of our children as it is so close to a school (primary and academy) and it is being built on what is currently a green field site. Please help us stop this recycling plant being built in a beautiful park area of Hazlehead. Although none of us are against recycling, we feel that there are better positions for this site to be placed. Our objections are location.  We are holding a protest on Thursday 29th @ 3pm at the school so please come along and support us - we hope that the press will be there to help promote our objections.

One hundred of us have already signed to protect the park where our kids play. It feels surreal to see so many neighbors standing up to keep this green space safe from truck traffic.

We are on the verge of hitting two hundred and fifty signatures and I need your help to push us over that line. Seeing so many people recognize the danger this plant poses to our children at Hazlehead Primary fuels my resolve to keep fighting. Please post this link on your social media right now so we can show the council exactly how many of us demand a safer location.

Why do they have to keep on using up all the green spaces
