Long and Short Term Improvements Required on A75

Lodged by Finlay Carson (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Members' Business Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the view that the Scottish Government needs to work with the UK Government to deliver what it considers much needed improvements on the A75, which were identified and recommended in the Sir Peter Hendy Union Connectivity Review and the Strategic Transport Projects Review 2 (STPR2); further notes the view that, given the recent accident in Crocketford village, average speed cameras should be installed in what it understands to be the only two communities still not served by a bypass on the whole length of this international European E-road E18, running from Craigavon in Northern Ireland, through Scotland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, before ending in St Petersburg, Russia, and notes that, according to figures from Transport Scotland in its report, Transporting Scotland’s Trade, the A75, along with the A77, carry an estimated combined total of £67 million worth of goods on a daily basis which flow through the port of Cairnryan.
