SNP COUNCILLORS WELCOME ELGIN TRANSPORT STRATEGY

SNP Councillors have welcomed a decision by The Moray Council to agree an Elgin Transport Strategy, which will now go for consultation.

Commenting the SNP’s Spokesperson on Economic Development and Infrastructure, Cllr Graham Leadbitter, said:

“The new Elgin Transport Strategy proposals follow several months of consultation with the wider public and we welcome the comprehensive range of proposals that have been put to Councillors from that work.

“It is important that we have a robust strategy for the coming years to ensure that transport improvements in Elgin are joined up and that we are in a position to take advantage of funding as and when it becomes available.

“Some of these proposals are fairly simple, while others are longer term and much more complex.

“As with any transport proposals there will be a wide range of opinion on the strategy and I look forward to hearing the public response on this.”
