The SNP's failure to dual Scotland's most dangerous road has been described as a "national scandal" as Scots aired their feelings about the "breach of trust" in angry emails to Transport Scotland. Transport Scotland has been inundated with complaints from angered Scots, as well as annoyed SNP backbenchers, over its inability to upgrade the A9 and refusal to confirm new dates for its completion. Campaign group A9 Dual Action also blasted the influence of the Scottish Greens on these long delays. (Image: Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser)“Locals feel betrayed by the SNP’s failure to honour their promise to dual the A9. Progression of the A9 Dualling Programme continues to be a priority for this Government and today’s announcement underlines our commitment to one of the largest, most complex infrastructure programmes in Scotland’s history."
