Peterhead, Fraserburgh and Ellon are the largest, second-largest and sixth-largest towns in Aberdeenshire, and it is estimated that the road supports around 80,000 people commuting into the Aberdeen area.As you are aware, Peterhead is a major oil and gas services port, and it and Fraserburgh account for 45 per cent of all fish landings in the UK. All that produce has to travel along the road, as does all the produce from the local farming communities and other industries.
