Issue - meetings

The Committee resolved:-

(i)             to approve the preferred location for the Remembering Together Public Artwork as Bon Accord Gardens; and

(ii)            to note that the full costs of designing, fabricating, and installing the statue will be met by the Remembering Together project being managed by Greenspace Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government, and at no cost to the council.

The Committee had before it a report by the Chief Officer – Operations and Protective Services, which provided a background to the national Remembering Together initiative being managed by Station House Media Unit on behalf of Culture Aberdeen and Aberdeen City Council. The report also provided details on the proposed new public artwork and recommended a preferred location to site this artwork.

(b)         note that the full costs of designing, fabricating, and installing the statue will be met by the Remembering Together project being managed by Greenspace Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government, and at no cost to the Council.
