Time and time again, SNP minsters have come before the Scottish Parliament, appeared in front of committees, or pledged in public that the A9 would be dualled in full between Inverness and Perth, and by the promised 2025 date. That was despite all evidence being to the contrary.
We now know that, since 2018, they were not being honest. The Scottish Government knew – because officials told them – that the 2025 completion date was “unachievable”. But it wasn’t until last year – nearly 5 years later – that SNP ministers finally came clean.
So despite the Scottish Government's desperate attempts to spin the unspinnable - a 10 year delay to dualling (as a minimum) - how can local businesses, those who live along the route of the A9, and those who’ve lost loved ones on the road, trust this SNP/Green government to finally deliver on these new, even more vague, promises, when they’ve been lied to so many times before?
