New Peterculter homes 'would keep the community alive'
The developer behind controversial plans for 250 new Peterculter homes has told the council the proposal would keep the community alive.
First Endeavour has applied to Aberdeen City Council for permission to build 250 properties - which could increase the suburb's population by as much as 20%.
The Press and Journal says a pre-determination hearing was held yesterday to give developers and objectors the chance to have their say on the proposal.
City councillors visited the site before the talks, to get a better idea of how the proposed development would fit in the landscape.
At the meeting Elaine Farquharson-Black of Brodies said the application would keep families in the area.
Fears for public-sector jobs
Cutting 30,000 public-sector jobs would be "unsustainable", the BBC was told yesterday.
It comes after the Scottish government set out its plans at Holyrood on Tuesday to reform public services in the face of a £3.5billion funding gap.
Linda Sommerville, of the Scottish Trade Unions Congress, said the review had "set alarm bells ringing".
She added that the pay bill was to be held down over the next five years by job losses across the public sector.
"There are estimates of up to 30,000 job losses which is unsustainable."
Workers at electric-car manufacturer ordered back to office
Tesla boss Elon Musk has ordered staff to return to the office full-time, declaring that working remotely is no longer acceptable.

People who are unwilling to abide by the new rules can "pretend to work somewhere else" Mr Musk said on Twitter, when asked about the policy.
"Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week," he wrote in one of the e-mails. "If you don't show up, we will assume you have resigned."
