SNP leadership contender Ash Regan has apologised “on behalf” of the party to Highland communities after the latest delay to dualling the A9.
Transport minister Jenny Gilruth announced earlier this month that the deadline to dual the remaining parts of the road between Perth and Inverness by 2025 was “simply unachievable”.
Speaking to MSPs earlier this month, the minister said just one tender was submitted for the section between Tomatin and Moy, which was well over the anticipated £115 million cost and would not present value for money to the taxpayer.
