Not sure why Aberdeen is bothering and why they are spending money on this. Would much rather they ploughed it into a better transport infrastructure.
Hull is a helluva place, just dreadful. However, I am not sure how this works, do they award it to places in need of investment? If not, would expect York and Plymouth to be favourites. Dundee probably has a better chance than Aberdeen seeing as they seem to be doing something about their city centre.
