MOTION BY BAILIE C MCLAREN AND COUNCILLOR I JAMES A9 Dunkeld I call upon the leader of the Council, Cllr Grant Laing to write to the Transport Minister, Kevin Stewart MSP. The announcement that the promised dualling of the A9 has stalled and won’t be delivered by 2025 as promised by the Scottish government has been met with dismay by the residents and businesses in Dunkeld, Birnam & Strathbraan. It is very difficult and dangerous for locals and visitors to exit onto the A9 from Dunkeld and Birnam because of frequent heavy traffic flows on the A9. Fatality numbers highlight the urgent need for road safety measures for this section of the A9. I ask the leader to demand a timetable of deliverance of greatly improved road safety measures. I would request at the very minimum the installation of a roundabout to allow all road users to exit, enter or cross the A9 road. We would request that the installation of traffic control measures to allow road users safe and easy access to enter, exit or cross the A9 road be instigated urgently.
