People urged to express Inverness bypass route views
THE deadline for feedback on the options for the route of the Inverness bypass is looming.
Highland Council transport committee chairman John Laing is urging people with a view on the multi-million pound plans to link Dores Road with the A82 via a crossing over the River Ness and Caledonian Canal to submit their thoughts before the consultation ends.
City residents have been invited to comment on eight options – ranging in price from £23.5 million to £75.5 million – since 23rd November.
“People should get their views in as soon as possible,” said Councillor Laing, who is the chairman of a 15-councillor group which will recommend its preferred route to the full council after assessing public feedback.
“It is absolutely vital that people who have an interest in it and the on-going future of Inverness make their views known.
“The deadline is close of play on Monday, but if representations arrive on Tuesday we won’t ignore them.”
The group will discuss the consultation responses on Friday 27th January and a route is set to be finalised before the local elections in May.
