The crowdfunder for a legal challenge against Aberdeen's city centre bus gates has smashed through the £30,000 mark and sits just over £2,000 short of its target.
With under a week to go, the total pledged has now reached £32,745 - with a target of £35,000.
Spearheaded by veteran retailer Norman Esslemont, the campaign hopes to take Aberdeen City Council to court in a bid to reverse the city centre traffic measures which have caused havoc for local businesses.
Last week, Alasdair Sutherland, the legal eagle tasked with taking down the local authority in court, threw down the gauntlet to the council ahead of the potential court showdown.
Now one final push is needed to get over the line and progress the legal challenge.
