Mid-Scotland and Fife MSP and “dual the A9” crusader Murdo Fraser has called on concerned residents to attend public exhibitions detailing the draft order which contains formal plans for the soon to be dualled road between Luncarty and Pass of Birnam. Also included within the exhibition will be the presentation of the environmental statement.
Representatives from Transport Scotland and Jacobs (technical specialists) will be there to answer questions. There will also be an opportunity to leave feedback on both the exhibition and the dualling plans.
The meetings will take place between 11am and 7pm at the Bankfoot Community Centre between the 2nd and 3rd of April.
Commenting Murdo Fraser MSP said:
“I have been contacted by several residents concerned as to the path of the dualled A9. Hopefully these exhibitions will lend some clarity to the situation and I would encourage all concerned residents to attend.
“It’s important that communities alongside the A9 are kept informed as to the route of the new dualled road.
“Construction of the route will be complicated and Transport Scotland must ensure that residents are inconvenienced as little as possible.
“Businesses already feel the economic impact of delays and closures due to accidents and therefore it is important that the dualling process is conducted as smoothly as possible.”
