McMillan Receives A78 Update from Transport Scotland

Stuart McMillan MSP SNP has today (Monday) received a response letter from Transport Scotland in relation to the A78 Trunk Road - Inverkip Junction.

Mr McMillan had previously written to Transport Scotland to highlight concerns from constituents in Inverkip and Wemyss Bay to the revised junction layout. In the response letter Transport Scotland indicate, a post construction road safety audit has been undertaken at the junction and its performance continue to be monitored… To enable a quantitative evaluation of the revised junction layout we have instructed a follow up conflict study to compare the before and after safety performance of the revised arrangement.

Mr. McMillan said;

"I'm pleased Transport Scotland have listened to the concerns of my constituents and have indicated they will undertake a follow up conflict study to compare the before and after safety performance of the revised arrangement.

"I know from the correspondence I have received from constituents in Inverkip and Wemyss Bay they are concerned with the revised junction layout.

"Therefore, I felt it was important to write to Transport Scotland, again, to highlight my concerns and those of my constituents and to ask that action be taken to improve road safety on the A78.

"Since I started with this campaign, progress has been made, although it has been slow and hard work. I will continue to fight for improved road safety improvements on the A78 as a top priority."
