Talk:Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route

Warning tags

The article has a healthy number of external links, but they really need to be cited as proper (specific) references for some of the claims made. In particular, the "controversy" section needs to be backed up, and ideally complemented by the arguments "for" the bypass; to some extent made in the section above which discusses congestion, but better presented together in the same section since we have a list of points there. – Kieran T ^(talk) 16:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Local Economy

This section seems to be biased against the AWPR - where does this £2.5 billion estimate come from? Where is the source that states "almost no traffic is attempting to cross the city"? All traffic heading for the North East of Scotland is currently forced to go through the city, surely this is a significant proportion of traffic - particularly as there are no rail links? Indeed- is this section necessary at all, as most of it is reiterated in the controversy section below? Matt-thepie 17:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Controversy section unbalanced

The controversy section omits the Green / ecological objections to the road. For reasons I don't understand, it also selectively highlights the prosperity of the residential areas near the road ( furthermore, without adequate referencing ). This needs to be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.105.254.148 (talk) 16:54, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
