The vehicle has been loaned by Station Garage in Mugiemoss Road, Bucksburn, Aberdeen, with Aberdeen City Council Communities, Housing and Infrastructure Vice-Convener Jean Morrison welcoming the move.

She said: “The partnership between ourselves and Station Garage has been a help to the City Wardens as having the vehicle means it is easier for them to get to communities in outlying parts of Aberdeen quickly. Our thanks go to The Station Garage.”

David McDonald, general manager at Station Garage, added: “The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is ideal for Aberdeen’s City Wardens and the important work that they do in helping to keep our communities safe and secure.

“We are therefore delighted to lend them this vehicle, and we are sure that they will find it of immense benefit.”
