Question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has any plans to arrange a ministerial visit to the Ballinluig junction on the A9 Inverness to Perth trunk road in order to inspect the safety of the junction.
Answer
The Scottish Executive has no plans to arrange a ministerial visit to the Ballinluig junction. However, officials have visited the site on many occasions to meet with local community representatives, Tayside Police and BEAR Scotland Ltd. Visits have included safety inspections, safety audits, and onsite meetings to discuss ways of increasing safety at the junction.In addition, I have met with various parties to discuss this matter including John Swinney MSP, local Community Council representatives and the Chief Constables of Tayside Police and the Northern Constabulary.
