FRUSTRATION is growing over what is claimed is a continuing lack of action by roads maintenance authorities to tackle outstanding potholes and other problems on the Lochaber trunk roads network. At last week’s April meeting of Spean Bridge, Roy Bridge and Achnacarry Community Council, held at Kilmonivaig Church Hall, chairman John Fotheringham revealed that both the boss of a local haulage firm and one of the area’s MSPs have now offered to get more involved in helping tackle the issue.
Mr Fotheringham told the meeting the haulage operator concerned has offered to speak to Scottish Transport Minister Humza Yousaf, while local MSP Donald Cameron had also offered to request an urgent meeting with Transport Scotland over the issue.
