The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the Scottish Government's announcement of £25 million which aims to secure a long-term solution to the Rest and Be Thankful pass on the A83 in Argyll and Bute; notes its intention to appoint Atkins WSP Joint Venture to progress design and development work for the route through Glen Croe; welcomes the intention that the proposals for the medium-term solution will be made by the end of 2022, with an announcement on the preferred route option for the long-term by Spring 2023; recognises what it considers as the important work of the Rest and Be Thankful Campaign Group in emphasising the needs of the business communities across Argyll and Bute in seeking to find the right solution; further recognises the work that the Scottish Government and the A83 Task Force have done, and continue to do, which aims to ensure a safe and lasting solution is found for the road, and considers it is a necessity to have a reliable route into Argyll and Bute for the area’s communities, businesses and visitors.
