Ambitious proposals to “reinvent” Aberdeen’s beach and city centre have been backed by £150 million – as last night council bosses laughed off criticism of their financial planning.
Councillors agreed their budget for the coming year, clashing on how to cut £30.4m from the budget for the day-to-day services, as well as on the grand “refresh” of their masterplan to revitalise the Granite City.
The Conservative, Aberdeen Labour and independent administration passed their budgets, which included proposals which could involve partially bankrolling a replacement stadium for Aberdeen FC at the seafront, a revamp of the Beach Ballroom and a replacement Beach Leisure Centre.

Council tax in Aberdeen will be frozen for the next year after councillors agreed the new budget.
Aberdeen City Council met today to discuss how to make £30.4million savings, but ruled out increasing council tax – allowing the authority to take advantage of government funding.
The administration’s budget – which includes a £150million investment package focusing on the city centre and beach – was passed by 22 votes to 19, with four absensions.
The authority will also be continuing with the £100million investment in the city’s school estate, and £23million investment in road improvements on South College Street, and will instruct officers to bring forward timelines for the Berryden corridor.
The budget was passed in favour of the administration.
Music services protected – but Dyce library to be relocated and some vacant posts removed.
Dyce Library is to be relocated under the budget.
In its budget, the administration rejected changes to the music service, and has instructed the chief education officer to conduct a report on how it could use digitalisation to offer a more affordable service to families, extending its reach.
It has also included a £100,000 spend on working with partners and community groups on eradicating food poverty across the city.
A further £90,000 to develop a targeted learning package for those whose employment opportunities have been hardest hit by Covid-19.
