A82 Glencoe
A Panel, established under Section 4 of the Deer (Scotland) Act 1996, was also established to examine the issues surrounding the risk to public safety on this road, with DCS gathering information about the number of deer carcasses and their location on a stretch of the road between Altnafeadh to Loch Ba. The group comprises representatives from Northern Constabulary, Bear Scotland, Blackmount Deer Management Group, Highland Council, the Scottish Executive and Ballachullish Community Council.
The Panel is assessing the scale of the problem and identifying potential solutions such as managing roadside vegetation and improving driver awareness. A feasibility report on using fencing and mirror reflectors, together with 60 mph repeater signs, is being prepared.
