Works begin on new Market frontage

Work to erect scaffolding on the front of the former British Home Stores building in Union Street, Aberdeen, will begin on Monday 16 September 2024.

The works form part of the new Market project, which is a key element of the City Centre and Beach Masterplan (CCBMP) to transform Aberdeen.

Part of the south walkway in central Union Street, directly in front of former BHS building, will be closed off to the public for five days during the scaffolding works.

The public will still have full access to the shops and services on the south walkway on either side of the closure. JD, the Aberdeen Gift and Tourist Shop, Aberdeen Vinyl Records and the HSBC bank will still be open for business as usual from the west end of the walkway, as will Attic Clothing from the east side.

The scaffolding works are due to be completed on Friday 20 September 2024 and the walkway will be fully reopened as normal.
