Murdo Fraser MSP has accused SNP Ministers of “shamefully neglecting” roads across Mid Scotland and Fife and slammed their proposal to cut the national speed limit for single carriage roads to 50mph.
The Scottish Conservative politician says that for nearly two decades the SNP have “monumentally failed” to deliver the improvements Scotland’s roads’ need.
Mr Fraser says that this has led to roads across Scotland and in Mid Scotland and Fife becoming notorious for accidents, injuries and deaths. He added that rather than taking action to protect drivers, nationalist Ministers are instead “intent on punishing motorists” to make up for their own failures.
Mr Fraser has urged SNP Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop to scrap these curbs and finally deliver the road upgrades that motorists have been waiting so long for. He has urged people across Mid Scotland and Fife to join the Scottish Conservatives campaign to say no to 50mph national speed limits and send the SNP a strong message.
Commenting, Mr Fraser said: “Successive failed SNP Transport Ministers have shamefully neglected roads across Mid Scotland and Fife.
“For nearly two decades, the nationalists have monumentally failed to deliver the improvements Scotland’s roads need. This has led to roads across Mid Scotland and Fife becoming notorious for accidents, injuries and deaths.
“Rather than taking action to protect drivers, SNP Ministers seem intent on punishing them to make up for their own failures to fix the roads. Fiona Hyslop should scrap these plans and finally deliver the road upgrades that motorists have been waiting so long for.”
Mr Fraser continued: “I would urge people across Mid Scotland and Fife to join the Scottish Conservatives campaign to ‘Say no to 50mph national speed limits’ and send the strongest possible message to the SNP.”
