SAVE BENNACHIE UPDATE: LETTER OF THANKS

Dear North East Mountain Trust

As you may know the recently announced route options for the dualling of the A96 no longer present a direct threat to the Bennachie massif, which is a considerable relief to the Save Bennachie Campaign. It is, however, disappointing that one of the route options does impinge slightly on the Special Landscape Area (SLA) which has recently been granted.

In view of this the Save Bennachie Core Team has decided to suspend direct involvement in the on-going public debate about the new route options. However, we shall maintain our contacts with Amey Arup Joint Venture and Transport Scotland so as to remain informed about developments in the process over the next twelve months until a preferred route option is announced towards the end of next year.

The coming together of local and national groups teaming up with individual supporters all united by the desire to protect Bennachie was a vital element of the Save Bennachie Campaign.

We would like to sincerely thank you for all your support for Bennachie, for which we could not be more grateful.

Yours sincerely,
Margaret Garden
Secretary
Save Bennachie Campaign
