Just because we're getting some shitey horrifically expensive construction in the heart of our city that we don't need but we're still humming and heying about a bridge that we've needed for fucking ever that costs a fraction of the price of UTG?

That could be part of it, yes.

So how long will this take?

 

Take it they've given up on the new Brig o Dee bridge then?

The decision will allow the local authority to proceed with the £15.8million project, which has been mooted in various forms since the 1960s.

City bypass appeal flawed from start, says judge

 

By Ryan Crighton

 

Published: 28/03/2012

 

Scottish judges found that William Walton’s appeal against the Aberdeen bypass was flawed from the beginning.

 

Lords Clarke, Bonomy and Philip ruled against him at the Court of Session last month, saying the basis of his case was “misconceived”.

 

They also said Mr Walton was “not entitled” to halt the project in the circumstances, because he does not live close enough to the route.

 

Well there's a fucking surprise

RESSURE group RoadSense will launch a fresh court challenge to the Aberdeen bypass – if it can raise £100,000 in three days.

 

The Press and Journal can reveal today that the objectors want to take their fight against the city’s Western Peripheral Route to the Supreme Court in London.

 

The Scottish Government is ready to start building the highway – but a fresh appeal could delay work for years.

New bid to block Aberdeen bypass

Legal bid to be launched within days

 

By David Ewen chief reporter

 

Published: 05/04/2012

 

THE fight against Aberdeen’s bypass is set to continue.

 

The chairman of opposition group Road Sense is to lodge a challenge at the UK Supreme Court within the next few days.

 

The decision could result in a further delay of up to nine months in building the 28-mile dual carriageway.

 

I hope this cunt can sleep easy at night.  I'm surprised he makes it to the shops without somebody starting on him.

[glasgow sheep]

Can they send him the bill for the inevitable massive over spend?

Must have happened already. I feel like driving to his hoose right now for a square go. 

[Tyrant]

Third appeal lodged by William Walton according the the P&J. The Scottish Government has confirmed that the scheme is once again on hold.

 

 

x a fucking million.

[Madbadteacher]

Just build the fucker then let them complain

[tom_widdows]

Can anyone summarise his actual objections to the project

Is his house being cleared Arther Dent style?

Is his business or land being swallowed up?

 

I ask because the press reports I see merely state he thinks the public either werent consulted properly or the route is flawed. If it is the latter has be proposed an alternative route which will meet all his criteria or is he just against completley against it ergo likes the congestion at the Hadigan roundabout, Brig o Dee, Anderson Drive etc etc

 

It seems the latest appeal is in his name only so does that mean his Road sense cronies have abandoned him? 

 

This reminds me of the boy who challenged Aberdeen councils proposal to put wheelie bins on the streets to stop seagulls tearing up the bin bags. Said they were ugly etc and eventually won some sort of victory in the courst meaning the Wheelie bins were not installed on his street. A couple of months later when the seagulls seemed to have bought flats in the street and turned it into a landfill he went crawling back to the council who told him he'd have to personally pay for each bin.

 

[Tyrant]

Nah Road Sense are still behind him apparently. I seem to remember him moaning his hoose was too close but apparently a previous appeal was thrown oot because the judge decided he didn't live close enough to the planned route.

I think there are flaws with the design (round about at Stonehaven ffs) but not enough to stop the fucking thing getting built.

Jesus. What a prize cunt that guy really is.

This.

[capitalsharpie]

I believe they are objecting this time on a point of principle. Apparently Tavish Scot forced through this route so as not to affect another lib dum (nicol steven) property. Ergo their arguement is the cosultation process is null and void.

 

Forgetting that in the meantime everyone in the NE has to suffer

 

A 'grade A' cunt indeed

Third appeal lodged by William Walton according the the P&J. The Scottish Government has confirmed that the scheme is once again on hold.

 

 

x a fucking million.

 

WILLIAM Walton’s appeal against the Aberdeen bypass appeared to be all but over last night after a court order left his legal team on the verge of quitting.

 

Supreme Court judges have agreed to shield the university lecturer from the majority of the Scottish Government’s legal bill – which is expected to reach £80,000 – if he loses in his third attempt to stop the £400million road.

 

But in a shock twist, the order they made also limited the amount the government has to pay – a decision that means Mr Walton will be able to hire only one advocate instead of two.
