Anger at parking on Auchinyell Road grass field
by Ian Yuill on 2 May, 2019
Residents have told me how annoyed they are that some people are parking on the grass field opposite Caledon Court at the junction of Auchinyell Road and Garthdee Road.
I have urged council staff to close the access to the field as soon as possible.

Why should anyone be angry, who is being hurt by other people parking in a field .
The council approved the building of a large accommodation block across the road with no parking.
An opportunity for the field owner to make a few Bob, l would have thought.
The field is owned by the council. It is a valued open space and there is a local group developing a community garden there.
Let the people continue to park their cars there it would get them away from Deeside Drive. I have mentioned before this space should be turned into a multi storey car park. Think of the money the Council could make if they charged!!!!
The field is an open space valued by many Garthdee residents. A community garden is also being developed there.
I noticed the cars when driving past one day.
Interesting to note that the pavement kerb is lower at the access point – almost as if it had been modified to be intended to access the field for car parking … ???
The kerb is lower to allow vehicle access for grass cutting, etc.
The field is there for people to use with their kids to play in or walk with dogs, NOT for parking cars.
Tell me Alan Fawbert what happens if a child or dog is knocked down by one of these ignorant people parking in the field ?. Regardless of the student accommodation being built with no parking , my visitors have to pay to park just like a lot of other people here, they don’t park in a field just so they don’t have to pay or can’t be bothered looking for a space on the streets… So yes people are angry, quite rightly so.
