Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has welcomed a commitment from Aberdeenshire Council to introduce new road safety improvements at Rora.
The move comes after Mr Stevenson was contacted by local community groups and took the matter up with the council, supporting their request that improvements be carried out. The road at Rora is a busy cross-country route used by many to travel to the St Fergus Gas Terminal.
Following a traffic survey of the area which confirmed that there was a problem with speeding, the council have brought forward proposals which have the support of local community groups. These include new road signs, improved visibility roadmarkings and an electronic speed warning sign.
Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:
“The community have fought long and hard for these measures so I was pleased to be able to support their case help push things along.
“The traffic survey was crucial to establishing that there was indeed a problem in this area and I am grateful to the council for listening to the concerns expressed by myself and others.
“I hope that these measures can now be completed soon and that we shall see an improvement in road safety for local residents and road users alike.”
