  • Insch Hospital’s Future in Question | Aberdeen News

    Insch War Memorial Hospital, shuttered at pandemic’s start due to staffing, still hasn’t reopened six years later — and its future now hinges on a controversial plan to declare it surplus. Residents are alarmed as the Aberdeenshire Integration Joint Board pushes forward with a public survey to gauge support for permanent closure, despite criticism over misleading info, rushed timing during school holidays, and failure to address historical harm. Community leaders say only demolition is being considered — even though a local group offered to build a modern facility, which was rejected. For elderly and vulnerable patients, losing this vital hub means losing palliative care, chemotherapy, and minor injury treatment — all without meaningful consultation, leaving locals feeling abandoned and unheard.

  • Prince William’s Homewards Initiative | Aberdeen News

    Prince William celebrates three years of his Homewards initiative, personally helping furnish a flat in Aberdeen as part of a nationwide effort to end homelessness. Carrying a chair up three flights of stairs, he reminded everyone that those helped are real people rebuilding their lives—not just numbers. The project, active in six diverse cities including Belfast and Sheffield, focuses on early intervention in schools and workplaces to stop homelessness before it starts. With nearly two million dollars invested and a five-year goal to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring, Homewards is building a replicable model for lasting change.

  • BrewDog CEO Out After Tilray Takeover | Aberdeen News

    BrewDog’s CEO James Taylor is stepping down after just 18 months, following the company’s controversial takeover by US cannabis and beer giant Tilray. The deal, worth £33 million, brought an abrupt end to BrewDog’s independence, shuttered 11 pubs, and led to job losses — though a few locations in Aberdeen and Inverurie have since reopened. BrewDog now says it doesn’t need a full-time CEO under Tilray International, praising Taylor for navigating the transition. Meanwhile, founder James Watt was reportedly in talks to buy the company before Tilray swooped in — a whirlwind year for the iconic brand.

  • SPAR Recalls Sauce Over Soya Labeling Error | Aberdeen News

    SPAR’s pulling its popular chicken and mushroom sauce over a critical labelling error—no soya warning on the pack, putting soy-allergic customers at risk. All 440g packs, regardless of expiry, are being recalled. Customers with soy allergies are urged to return bottles for full refunds. Soy, one of the UK’s top allergens, affects around 1 in 250–300 adults and many kids, often causing digestive issues—even if severe reactions are rare. Food companies must boldly label soy to protect consumers, especially since it’s hidden in many processed foods and meat alternatives. If you’ve got it at home and are soy-sensitive, get it back to the store. Safety first.

  • Coughlans Bakery Closes Amid Rising Costs | Aberdeen News

    Iconic London bakery Coughlans, owned by comedian Romesh Ranganathan since 2024, has shut down after 89 years — citing soaring business rates, fuel costs, and punishing heatwaves that crushed foot traffic. Ranganathan called it heartbreaking, while management blamed government hikes and extreme weather. The closure, entered into voluntary liquidation, aims to protect staff and suppliers — a sad end for a beloved local institution.

  • Royal Mail Drops Saturday Mail | Aberdeen News

    Royal Mail is revamping second-class mail delivery, ditching Saturday drops starting 2026 for alternating weekday deliveries — meaning a Thursday-sent letter might arrive Tuesday. This shift, driven by Ofcom’s 2025 reforms and falling letter volumes, aims for a more reliable, sustainable service without affecting first-class or parcel delivery schedules. While it may delay weekend mail, Royal Mail insists this change ensures better long-term service across the UK.

  • Scotland Bans Deadly Glue Traps | Aberdeen News

    Scotland has officially banned deadly glue traps, imposing fines up to £40,000 or a year in prison for anyone caught using, selling, or possessing them. These inhumane devices cause horrific injuries and slow, painful deaths for countless animals — from bats and mice to seagulls and magpies — and have been a long-standing target for animal welfare advocates. The ban, enacted last year as part of broader wildlife protections, sends a clear message: indiscriminate cruelty won’t be tolerated. This landmark move reflects Scotland’s growing commitment to compassionate wildlife management and ending unnecessary suffering.
