£21million for Argyll roads

Last week, Argyll and Bute Council agreed to spend £21m over the next three years on roads capital projects, and a further £18.4m during the same period on roads revenue funding. Councillor Duncan MacIntyre, their spokesperson for transport and infrastructure, did some understandable trumpet – blowing. ‘Despite facing the worst set of economic conditions for a generation, Argyll and Bute Council has been able to agree nearly £40m of spending on roads over the next three years,’ he said.

Yes, yes, we know. Just thought we’d make you jealous.
