Urgent Action to Dual the A75

Lodged by Craig Hoy (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Members' Business Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament considers the A75 to be a critical economic and strategic link between south-west Scotland and the rest of the UK and Northern Ireland; notes with concern what it sees as the dangerous under-investment in the road for decades; further notes the belief that the road’s single carriageway sections are a daily safety hazard, a brake on the regional economy and a growing deterrent to business and tourism throughout Dumfries and Galloway; notes the support for urgent action to fast-track dualling; further notes suggestions to cut red tape, speed up environmental assessments, and unlock private investment to deliver the project, and notes the calls on the Scottish Government to end delays and commit to a clear timetable for upgrades.
