That the Parliament regrets what it sees as the decision by the previous Scottish National Party administration to break its 2021 manifesto commitment to fully dual the A96 by 2030; understands that the current approach focuses on dualling identified key sections of the route rather than the full corridor, with no confirmed timetable for completion; understands the importance of the A96 to communities and businesses across Moray and North East Scotland and the need for long-term certainty to support investment and economic growth, and recognises the calls on the Scottish Government to review its current position and to set out a clear and deliverable plan for the completion of the key sections, including firm timelines, and for the full dualling of the A96 to be taken forward as soon as possible.
