A call for more road diversion planning has been made following congestion caused by heavy A9 traffic being routed through Dunblane and its surrounding roads last Friday afternoon.
The A9 had been closed in both directions for a number of hours due to a tanker fire on the northbound carriageway near Ashfield. There were no reports of injuries.
It was pointed out this week that road closures on the A9 north of the town with diversions are a regular occurrence - Friday’s incident was the second time in a week that traffic had been diverted off the A9.
