Senior councillors in Aberdeen have voted to start a fresh consultation on plans to remove a "no right turn" rule in the city centre. Councillors voted back in October but another meeting had to be called after officials admitted it wasn't competent and could be challenged in court.

NEW: The Scottish government could abandon its commitment to dual carriageway the A96 from Inverness to Aberdeen. Transport Scotland has put forward a "Refined Package" including more electric charging stations and new bypasses at Elgin and Keith. We'll hear from the Transport Sec later.

Some children in Aberdeenshire have been enjoying another day off school, as the wintry weather continues to grip parts of Scotland. The sledges were out in Dunecht, as a yellow warning for snow and ice ended. Attention now turns to the expected arrival of #StormBert tomorrow.

Dozens of schools across Aberdeenshire closed today and many others without pupil transport. Here in Dunecht, some families are making the most of it. Snow and ice warnings continue into tomorrow, with most of Scotland bracing for wintry weather over the weekend. #BBCNorthEastScot

Stagecoach say nobody was hurt after a bus hit ice and tipped over on the A952 between Mintlaw and Fraserburgh at around 06:50 this morning. One passenger was on board. X67 and X68 services are suspended until further notice as the company assesses road conditions. #BBCNorthEastScot

A big hello to all the new followers 👋🏻 I showed the list to Ted but he didn’t really get it and demanded his breakfast instead.

Nice to be back! It’s been more than 18 months since I last worked a shift at Pacific Quay, so it was nice to head down from Aberdeen to spend a few days seeing friends and doing the news.
