Question
To ask the Scottish Government what recent discussions it has held with (a) Transport Scotland and (b) Glasgow City Council regarding the development of the Clyde Metro.
Answer
Since the publication of the draft second Strategic Transport Projects Review in January 2022, a multi-partner working group consisting of Transport Scotland, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport and Glasgow City Council, known as the Client Delivery Group, has met regularly to discuss and better define the scale of work that Clyde Metro might represent, together with the associated resource and programme requirements. This is overseen by a Programme Steering Group comprising of the Chief Executives of those organisations. I am pleased that Strathclyde Partnership for Transport have undertaken to lead the next stage of the case for investment for Clyde Metro. Transport Scotland will continue to be involved in a project assurance and support role.
