Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many civil servants Transport Scotland has allocated to work of developing long- and medium-term resilient routes to replace the existing A83 Rest and Be Thankful corridor.
Answer
Work to progress the medium and long term solutions for the A83 Rest and Be Thankful is currently being overseen by seven civil servants, including four chartered civil engineers. This is a typical client team resource for a project of this size and the civil servants involved are also responsible for the oversight and management of other projects within Transport Scotland. The member will note that technical consultants have now been appointed to progress the long and medium term options for the Rest and Be Thankful.
