Options unveiled for ‘bottleneck’ roundabout

Five potential solutions to resolve traffic congestion at one of the busiest roundabouts in Inverness have been revealed.

Transport Scotland has sought public comments on the options for the Longman Roundabout and public exhibitions are being held in Inverness.

Transportministerhumza Yousaf said improving the “bottleneck” was a key government priority. The project will involve investment of up to £135 million. A family were forced to flee from their home after their cars were targeted in a “terrifying” petrol bomb attack.

Louise Cheyne, 35, her husband Martin, 37, and four young sons had to shelter in a neighbour’s house while fire crews tackled the blaze.

Their blue BMW 220 and the grey Vauxhall Corsa were also destroyed in the incident in Sandhaven, Aberdeenshire, in the early hours of yesterday morning.
