CLIMATE activists who occupied an Aberdeen park to protest against plans to build an “energy transition zone” warned today that they will return again if the plan goes ahead.

Last Thursday, activists set up camp in St Fittick’s Park for a five-day occupation. 

A third of the park, which is the remaining green space in Torry, one of Aberdeen’s most deprived areas, is due to be used for the zone.
