Thank you for your letter of the 28th of April 2009.

I am delighted you’ve confirmed that there has been a mention of a new link connecting the A96 main road to (on, over or under) the A9 main road at the Inshes area, South of Inverness, crossing the secondary B9006 Culloden Road, thus establishing an opening end of a highway route bypass at the North/East of Inverness, constituting a Scottish Transport plan that hopefully will complete at the high point of the scenic A82 route at Kilvean Cemetery crossing both, the Thomas Telford Magnificent Caledonian Canal, and the Ness River in one fell swoop at their closet together part of the terrain by the construction of a Nessie Monster Bridge, designed with Redstone, Granite, boulders, blocks and other of the finest rock face stonework, quarried from our own local Highland region, so distinguishing the finest attribute of the bridge portrayed in the photo shown relevant on the Kings Jazz Review – Nessie Monster Bridge website. i.e. The above photograph.

Please see the third paragraph of the online letter at:

revealing politics at its most deviousness.
Sound reasoning is the order of the day to be adhered to in this regard.

Inverness Trunk Link Road (TLR) noted by yourselves as proposed by Liberal Democrats and the Inverness Courier is not a road that by passes Inverness, and the guilt was in the plugging of it as such by them.

Government £Billions to save Banks, a very big blunder, has little money left for infrastructure and environment the main and most important features of your work, for a country to work its way out of a depression - so I’m afraid for things to “become clearer” for you
- will, I vouch - not be months but years and years to come.

Sadly, the very fine designed Tornagrain Village plan earmarked for the A96 corridor expansion is, as I reiterate, in the wrong place. Inverness is bound to expand further in the South come time. I guess I’ve made another unsaid point.
