HUMZA Yousaf has pledged a “firm commitment” to funding for a tunnel to protect vehicles from landslips on one of Scotland’s most famous tourist roads.
The pledge was made as the Scottish Government held a public meeting in Inveraray, as part of a Travelling Cabinet programme which sees ministers visit different areas the country. It was the first to take place since it was halted by the Covid pandemic.But ministers were asked – given a recent report which highlighted challenges around funding of infrastructure projects – if money would be found for the project in"this parliament or the next".
“The funding position is very difficult around infrastructure, the Finance Secretary is looking at finance models at the moment to see how we progress those funding options.” “My reflections so far, having been in the post, is my priority is a permanent solution as soon as possible and reassurance on safety in the meantime.”
And ahead of the meeting, Yousaf met with a community group to see their ongoing work in regenerating the local pier.
