One of the top issues that constituents have raised with me is the lack of progress in delivering both medium-term and long-term solutions to the ongoing problems affecting the A83 Rest and Be Thankful.
The road is regularly closed or operating under convoy as a result of frequent landslips, usually during poor weather, and residents and businesses are forced to either take a significantly longer detour or use the single-track Old Military Road.
Residents and businesses across Argyll and Bute deserve better than this.
After years of campaigning by the A83 Rest and Be Thankful Campaign Group, MSPs, Councillors and other concerned residents and businesses, Transport Scotland finally announced plans to deliver medium-term and long-term solutions in 2021, with a preferred medium-term route announced in December 2022, and a preferred long-term route announced in June 2023.
However, the lack of any visible work since then has caused understandable frustration for local people.
I will continue to campaign on this important issue, and will provide regular updates on my work on this issue in the news section below.
