Aberdeen City Council is in the process of procuring a masterplan for the city centre as part of the regeneration process for the area.

Deputy Council Leader Marie Boulton said: "This is an important initial meeting with Network Rail, who could be an important partner in our efforts to rejuvenate and modernise our city centre.

"This is a first step in what will inevitably be a complex process, but which promises the possibility of huge rewards for Aberdeen."
