Is the Executive carrying out any studies in relation to transport in Dalkeith?
Yes, the same consultants that are preparing the design work for the road are undertaking such a study. However, given the decision to construct the road such a study seems pointless as any contrary recommendations it might contain will be pre-empted by the construction of the road. It also seems highly inappropriate to use the same consultants to design the road and carry out this study. This seems to involve a clear conflict of interest.
