Local Network Infrastructure
The Tamfourhill site is well connected to the M876 motorway. Works to Junction 5
will be of benefit as it is one of the access routes for traffic coming from the
east. The A9/A904 corridor improvements may also bring additional benefits.

the district by sustainable travel and by private car. The proximity of the canal
network offers excellent opportunities for recreation as well as commuting.
