Tolled Bridges

As an amendment to motion S2M-01418 in the name of Trish Godman (Tolled Bridges), leave out from “and seeks” to end and insert “; welcomes the announcement; recognises that the Skye Bridge is unique among toll bridges in Scotland, both because of the high level of tolls and because drivers have no other toll-free alternative road, and urges the Scottish Executive to ignore attempts to delay the lifting of the Skye Bridge tolls by central belt interests raising the issue of other Scottish toll bridges.”

The member has provided the following Gaelic translation:

Iain Fearchar Rothach: Mar atharrachadh air gluasad (S2M-1418) ann an ainm Trish Godman (Drochaidean-cìse), fàg às bho “and seeks” gus an deireadh agus cuir a-steach; “gu bheil i a’ cur fàilte air an naidheachd seo; gu bheil i ag aithneachadh gu bheil Drochaid an Eilein Sgitheanaich eadar-dhealaichte bho dhrochaidean-cìse eile na h-Alba, an dà chuid air tàilleabh àrd-ìre nan cìsean agus a chionn is nach eil rathad gun chìsean ann as urrainn do dhràibhearean a chleachdadh na h-àite; agus gu bheil i ag iarraidh air Riaghaltas na h-Alba cluas bhodhar a thoirt do na h-oidhirpean le buidhnean air a’ Mhachair Ghallda gus dàil a chur air an oidhirp gus cìsean Drochaid an Eilein Sgitheanaich a chur an darna taobh, le bhith a’ togail cùis nan drochaidean-cìse eile ann an Alba.”
