BANFFSHIRE & Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson has welcomed the announcement that the legal protests holding up the construction of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route have been rejected by the Court of Session.
He said: “The AWPR is an essential project not just for people in Aberdeen, but for everyone across the North East. Businesses and individuals currently face long delays when travelling south from Banffshire & Buchan Coast as a result of having to pass through the centre of Aberdeen.
"When the AWPR is complete, this will be a thing of the past and journey times will improve markedly. It will have real economic benefits for Banffshire & Buchan Coast and I am delighted to hear that the legal protests have failed.
"The AWPR was an important part of our manifesto and today’s decision means we can continue to make progress towards it. This is fantastic news for people across the North East.”
