To ask the Scottish Government what the outcome was of the Transport Scotland consultation on the potential raising of the speed limit on the A77 between the Symington turn-off and the Monkton roundabout.
A draft order revoking the 50mph speed limit between Bogend Toll and Dutch House Roundabout was published on 16th December 2015, eighteen objections were received. Following engagement with objectors and further investigations sixteen objections have been maintained. In accordance with the Secretary of State’s Traffic Orders (Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 1987 it is now for Ministers to undertake a review of these objections in advance of making their recommendation.
