Forth Bridge name announcement sums up a government running out of steam
The SNP Government has announced that the new bridge on the Firth of Forth will be known as the Forth Replacement Bridge.
Jackson Carlaw MSP, Shadow Minister for Transport, said:
"With a price tag exceeding £2bn this does seem rather dull. The public rightly, might have expected something a bit more exciting for such an iconic structure.
"In naming the new bridge the Forth Replacement Crossing, we also have an inaccurate title – it isn't replacing anything as the current structure will remain. It is totally devoid of any imagination and rather neatly sums up an SNP Government running out of steam."
Ruth: "Our thoughts should now be with the families of the victims who died on that fateful day in December 1988."
