To ask the Scottish Executive on what information Scottish ministers based their decision on the need in principle for the proposed Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route.
Answer
Scottish ministers accepted the need in principle for the proposed Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route based on the findings of the Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) study of alternative transport strategies, carried out by NESTRANS in 2002. The various reports of this study were previously available on Aberdeenshire Council''s website, and the outcomes of this study were documented in the report
Delivering a Modern Transport System for North East Scotland, which can be found at
http://www.awpr-pli.org/downloads/Documents/Core%20Documents/CD08.PDF.
Scottish ministers confirmed in their statement on transport to Parliament on 27 June 2007 that the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route is vital to the north east and that they were committed to its delivery.
