Appendix D - Stakeholder letter

Appendix D is a copy of the text which was included within the letter issued via email to the stakeholders who received an invitation to the stakeholder briefing sessions conducted during the A96 Corridor Review consultation period.

Dear all,

Following the email you received on 28 November from Transport Scotland, we are writing to provide you with further details regarding the consultation for the A96 Corridor Review.

As part of the consultation period, we would welcome the opportunity to understand the views of your organisation about the draft outcomes of the A96 Corridor Review, and we will be in touch shortly inviting you to a briefing session which is anticipated to be held in the week commencing 27 January 2025. If you are unable to attend we would appreciate if you could please pass the invitation on to a colleague who can attend on your behalf.

 

The format of the briefing session will be a short presentation, followed by an open discussion about the outcomes of the review. During the session, we will also be using a Mural board so you can share your views and feedback. The Microsoft Teams invitation, and the link to the Mural board, will be circulated in advance of the session.

 

We will be undertaking this consultation exercise to gather key information about how the draft outcomes of the review could impact living, working and travelling experience along the A96 corridor. We appreciate a wide range of engagement and consultation has been carried out on the A96 in recent years. This consultation exercise will build on the previous engagement undertaken and seek to identify how satisfied stakeholders are with the outcomes of the review.

 

As mentioned previously, we are also gathering feedback from the public and other stakeholders. This feedback is being collected via a digital consultation survey. We would appreciate if you could share this survey to anyone who may be interested in taking part during the consultation period.
