Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross will accuse the SNP of presiding over a “forgotten” Scotland in which those outside the central belt are ignored in a speech to the Conservative Party conference.
He will accuse the party of going back on promises about roads, such as work to dual the A9 which does not have a completion date. “Not only does poor infrastructure hold so many parts of our country back, but it also further entrenches the idea that they have been left behind.”Mr Ross will say that “upgrades to the A9 promised since 2007 have still not even got a completion date”.
SNP MSP Rona Mackay said: “The SNP has a strong track record in delivering for communities right across Scotland – from rolling out game-changing family and child benefits, to overseeing record staffing in our NHS, and supporting our farmers, crofters and agriculture sector. A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “Our National Transport Strategy guides everything we do, focusing on four priorities: reducing inequalities, tackling climate change, delivering inclusive economic growth and improving the health and wellbeing of our people – all of our people.
