Elgin Traffic Management

The Elgin Traffic Management Programme is seen as essential to enable and encourage development and continued growth in the town.

The aims and objectives of the programme are in line with the various local and national priorities. These include the Elgin STAG study, the Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR), the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) and the Council’s own objectives.

The key objective is “to provide a quicker, safer and more reliable transport system in and around Elgin while accommodating future development”.

Consequently, this programme will consider transport improvements within the whole of Elgin.

Over the years the transport situation in Elgin has been the subject of a number of reports to the Environmental Services Committee and more recently to the Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee. View copies of the reports and presentations.

It is a major project and will impact on a large number of people during its development and construction. With approval being given in September 2011 to proceed with detailed design and a planning application, this scheme now justifies a dedicated section of the Council's Internet.
