Bressay Bridge
Scottish Ministers have today given consent for the Bressay Bridge to go ahead. This is very good news and means the possible delay and expense of a public enquiry can be avoided.
Achieving consent is a tribute to the very high quality of work done by the bridge project team and I congratulate them on this. The Team are now progressing a roads order and works license consent. It is hoped to have this in place soon with continued positive dialogue together with Lerwick Port Authority to achieve this.
Ends.
