To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-28121 by Stewart Stevenson on 30 October 2009, what timescales it envisages for Transport Scotland and the Highland Council to (a) purchase and (b) grant planning permission for land for the proposed park-and-ride facility during the roadworks on the Kessock Bridge.
Answer
Land purchase and planning permission for a permanent park-and-ride facility is being taken forward by the Highland Council. The provision of a temporary park-and-ride facility during the roadworks is one of the options being considered by Transport Scotland to reduce the volume of traffic over Kessock Bridge during the works and this option will be considered further once the outcome of the planning application is known.
