What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to address the 4 key points which are currently impacting upon the communities along the A83 which are (1) issues relating to the Rest and Be Thankful; (2) pinch points at Inveraray and between Lochgilphead and Tarbert (Lochfyne); (3) safe crossing points at Ardrishaig and Tarbert (Lochfyne) and (4) formally trunk the road between Kennacraig and Campbeltown.

What the petitioner did first

The issue has been raised by successive elected councillors with various levels of Scottish and UK government with to date little success.
This issue has been raised at many community councils which we attend again with little action undertaken.
There have been discussions and representations made with Transerve who are the Operating Company responsible for the management & maintenance of the Trunk Road Network in North West Scotland regarding these issues but without any successful outcome.
