STUC Comment on New Forth Crossing Plans
On learning of Scottish Executive plans to build a new Forth crossing STUC Assistant Secretary John Park said:
“This is a positive announcement from the Scottish Executive. Business and commuters across Scotland reliant on the current bridge will be pleased to see progress on a new crossing. The debate about the type of crossing must be informed, sensible and recognise the real concerns over the condition of the existing bridge.
“Most important of all the Scottish public will rightly expect any new crossing to be delivered on time, in cost and by contractors with high standards of employment practice.”
