Amid all the wintry weather doom-and-gloom there is some good news, courtesy of local campaign group the A82 partnership, about the A82 upgrade at Pulpit Rock. Transport Scotland has confirmed:

• There will be NO planned A82 road closures for Pulpit Rock works before 1 February 2014.

• The proposed FULL (24/7) closure of approximately one week in January 2014 will NOT now take place.

•  Present planning is that there will  be NO requirement for any FULL (24/7) closure to complete the works.

•  The next overnight closure will be for one week in February on a date yet to be advised.
