Aberdeen City Council is seeking views on potential designs for a cycling and pedestrian route in the Marywell area near Cove.

The introduction of this link will help enhance the wider cycle/pedestrian network between Stonehaven and Aberdeen.

The five potential routes for the project include:

• Extending the shared use path along Wellington Road (A956) from the junction with Charleston Road to link in with Old Wellington Road or Old Stonehaven Road

• A shared use or fully segregated route along (Old) Wellington Road


• A shared use or fully segregated route along Old Stonehaven Road

• A shared use or fully segregated route along Cove Road

• Extending the shared use path and exploring segregated options along Charleston Road.

Aberdeen City Council transportation spokesman Councillor Ross Grant said: "This is one of several cycling schemes which have been made public recently by Aberdeen City Council and I hope people who live or work in the Marywell, Cove Bay, Portlethen, Newtonhill, Muchalls, and Stonehaven areas in particular will take a short time out of their day to examine and comment on the designs.

"I'd encourage as many people as possible to look at the proposals and provide feedback on them."

An online exhibition and survey has been launched for people to express their views. Available here.

A public consultation event is also being held in Cove Library on Monday 28 January, from 3-7pm.
