City Square Project Comment re Annie Lennox Image • The City Square Project

Commenting on the use of an image of Annie Lennox in the initial consultation leaflet, a spokesperson for the City Square Project said:
“As part of the City Square vision we see a space that could be used for a host of public events, including an area that would attract world class performers.  We would be delighted in the future if acts such as Annie Lennox had a venue in the city centre of Aberdeen that they could play in.  We certainly didn’t intend to suggest that Ms Lennox supported the City Square Project, we used an image we thought showed the type of venue that the new civic space could host.
“As it happens we are naturally phasing out this brochure. It has been replaced with a new, more concise leaflet which addresses some of the questions that have been raised during the consultation.”
