Transport: Scottish Islands
- Question
-
What discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on improving transport connectivity to Scottish islands.
- Answer
-
There are few issues which better encapsulate the incompetence and arrogance of the SNP government than their long-running ferry fiasco.
Scotland’s island communities have been let down time and time again, from Nicola Sturgeon pretending to launch a ferry with the windows painted on, to the recent reports that the Glen Rosa may not be delivered until 2026 - eight years behind schedule.
John Swinney and the SNP have left Scotland’s islands with no functioning ferry network. Our island communities deserve better, they deserve a new direction.
