Scottish Senior Open survey 'chuffs campaigners'
09/09/18
The
St
Andrews Citizen reported
that the survey results indicated 'overwhelming
support' for a railway from the 174 people questioned
at the Scottish Seniors Open championship at
Fairmont, near St Andrews, last month. The potential
for achieving modal shift from cars was demonstrated
by 70% of the 96% of non-residents who drove to St
Andrews claiming they would use a railway if there
were one.
Convenor Jane Ann Liston. however, urged supporters to participate in the forthcoming St Andrews & East Fife Local Plan consultation, if they want to ensure that strategic pieces of land likely to form part of a new route are identified and safeguarded until the line can be constructed.
It is hoped that a similar exercise can be carried out at future events which attract large numbers to St Andrews - watch this space.
