Stonehaven residents are to embrace a long-awaited “feeling of freedom” when physical distancing measures are scaled back ahead of the summer season.
Barriers and bollards put in place to widen pavements for pedestrians as part of the local authority’s Spaces for People project are expected to be removed next week.
Stonehaven was one of several towns in the north-east, which saw various road closures, one-way systems and parking bans implemented to keep people safe from Covid.
Although some of the measures were removed last year, others were kept in place to provide more space for social distancing.

Plans to create a community garden in a north-east town have been approved by councillors.
The Kincardine and Mearns area committee met this week to discuss proposals submitted to turn part of land on Market Square in Stonehaven into a public space.
Councillors on the committee approved the plans six votes to five against.
To be called the Phoenix Community Garden, it has been brought forward by the Stonehaven Business Association.
It’s hoped it will be an attractive space for people to meet and enjoy, and bring a bit of greenery into the town square, creating a focal point.
