The
Transport Minister Nicol Stephen visited Maybole on the 8th
December 2003 and announced funding for an initial study
to look at the option of a Maybole Bypass on the A77 trunk
road.
South Ayrshire Council welcome this announcement which is seen as a positive
move to improve safety and congestion in Maybole, and improve access to
and from the ferry terminals at Stranraer and Cairnryan.
This proposal is in accordance with the aspirations for
Maybole outlined in the A77 GLASGOW TO STRANRAER - SOUTH
AYRSHIRE COUNCIL ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY
The Scottish Executive have now appointed Atkins to carry
out the Scottish
Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) analysis for Maybole.
STAG is a document to aid transport planners and decision-makers
in the development of transport policies, plans, programs
and projects. It plays a crucial role in making certain
that resources are used wisely and effectively.
As part of the consultation process, Atkins have approached
South Ayrshire Council for comments which could help with
their study.
"The A77 Trunk Road through Maybole - South Ayrshire
Council's Proposals March 2005" has been prepared
and submitted to Atkins for consideration.
