A77 Action Group Calls for Immediate Improvements

Lodged by Sharon Dowey Standard Motion 22 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament understands with concern that the A77 between Ayr and Stranraer has received just 0.5% of the £10.9 billion spent on Scotland’s capital road projects over the last 20 years; believes that the A77 Action Group has expressed its concern regarding dangerous junctions and crumbling surfaces; considers that, without investment, the road will not be fit for purpose; understands that this road causes issues to HGVs travelling to and from the central belt and to the public; considers that more overtaking sections are required to deal with the current congestion; believes that the state of the road, the congestion and heavy vehicles are contributing to crashes and fatalities along the A77; considers that urgent action is needed, and believes that fairer funding is required to fix these issues.
