It was great to speak to local residents on the Isle of Jura while attending a recent Jura Community Council (JCC) meeting. Since my last trip to Jura many potholes that had been sprayed with a white outline for filling by our roads department are still to be done. Many of these potholes have expanded from the original painted outline and have become large craters that are both deep and wide.
I will keep pressing our local roads department for solutions as well as continuing lobbying our MSPs for extra funds from central government. Many other issues were discussed both at the JCC and while out visiting my constituents, including ferries, transport links, mobile phone signal and internet speed.
