PE1218, from Margot Russell, calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to bring forward a timed and costed programme of works for the grade separation of the Sheriffhall roundabout on the A720 to alleviate pressure and traffic problems on the new A68 Dalkeith bypass.The petition has been in front of us before. Do members have any observations?

I think that we should close the petition on the ground that grade separation for the roundabout at Sheriffhall is part of the improvement to the A720 referred to in project 22 of the strategic transport projects review. It will be pursued as the delivery of the STPR moves forward, subject to other priorities and funding.

We will close the petition. In the words of our national rugby team coach,"A roll always starts with one".We have got two in a row, so well done.
