Conservative Holyrood candidate, Bob Dalrymple, today described Stirling Council’s Labour Administration’s latest proposal for a new road crossing of the River Forth as: ‘Yet another example of the insensitive and deceitful way Labour operates. Coming hard on the heels of the Back O’Hill Road scheme scandal I uncovered just a year ago, I am astounded that this Council have tried to slip a major capital proposal through with the minimum of publicity and that the consultation period ends THIS WEEK on Friday 16 March. This is government by stealth.
Stirling Council and the Scottish Executive should immediately extend the consultation period until after the elections in May so that all concerned can have proper opportunity to fully consider these proposals.
How can representatives, newly elected after 3 May, possibly represent the wishes of their constituents when an important matter such as this is waived through in a rush at the end of a Council term ?
This is just another example of the contempt this failed Labour Council and failed Labour/Liberal Executive exhibit for the people of Stirling’.
The proposal is part of the draft TACTRAN Regional Transport Strategy, but has only just been published by Stirling Council as part of a proposed alteration to the Structure Plan consultation, which ends on 30 April.
