A short interview filmed by shmu's Youth Media team exploring the proposed restoration of Jacob's Ladder in Woodside, Aberdeen.
Jacobs Ladder was opened to the public in 1921 to create a direct route from Don Terrace to Grandholm Bridge and ensuring quick and simple access to the Granholm Mill on the other side of the river.
For several years now this staircase has been closed due to structural damage and safety reasons. Because of this, pedestrians have to walk around Don Terrace onto Gordon Mills Road adding an extra 10 minutes to their journey.

The goal is to restore Jacobs Ladder to its original condition in order to provide safe and easy access to and from the Grandholm Bridge for the Woodside community and beyond for recreation purposes, the Grandholm housing estate, the Grandholm Care Home and associated facilities.
