Aberdeen's Hazlehead Park is home to a statue honouring the 167 lives lost in the 1988 disaster.
The Gardens Design Company ScotlandThe statue was unveiled in 1991
Pound for Piper Memorial Trust chairman Steve Rae - a survivor of the Piper Alpha disaster - said the current gardens had become increasingly expensive to maintain. "When you see the people that come here and are still living in a place where they've missed loved ones for more than 30 years, you know it's the right thing to do," he told BBC Scotland."The design is in alignment with offshore wells - it's circular. We'll keep the benches, some of the roses if we can. We want to recognise and keep with us what is good. If we can have this project delivered by the 35th anniversary next year, that would be excellent.
"We had a considerable amount of renewal to do on the rose beds this year and rather than putting money into those we wanted to put it into the new design."Image source,
