Impact of the AWPR on the Deeside Way in Milltimber
The Deeside Way runs from the centre of Aberdeen to Ballater,
and is widely enjoyed by residents, visitors, walkers, cyclists and
horse-riders. It is also used frequently for charity events. It
follows the line of the Old Royal Deeside Railway and is now part
of the official National Cycle Network. However, the pathway
represents much more than connectivity; it is also part of our
history and listed as a Heritage Pathway of Scotland.
We highlight the statement made by the Reporters following the AWPR
Inquiry (‘Report to the Scottish Ministers’, published
2009), that the proposed diversion at the Deeside Way Right of Way
would be less than ideal (Chapter 10.180). Hence, this petition
supports the construction of a dedicated non-vehicular bridge over
the AWPR, rather than using a diversion via Station Road. This
would maintain high levels of safety for all users of the Deeside
Way, and preserve the integrity of this Heritage Pathway.
