§ Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what would be the cost of providing an all-weather bypass to the Petterden section of route A.929 between Forfar and Dundee.
§ Mr. RossA.929 near Petterden was over high ground which cannot be avoided by building a bypass. The road and its junction with the Glamis road (A.928) was recently improved. Further improvements, which would be unduly costly having regard to the traffic, could not guarantee freedom from occasional interruption by snow in winter. Good winter maintenance is required and Angus County Council, the highway authority concerned, is well aware of this.
