Murdo has accused the Transport Secretary of “washing her hands” of dealing with traffic issues at the Swallow Roundabout.
Both he and Councillor Angus Forbes recently wrote to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Fiona Hyslop MSP, but they are disappointed with her respective replies to them. This followed complaints from irate constituents who are concerned about some of the new traffic measures installed at the busy roundabout on the outskirts of Dundee.
Commenting, Murdo said: “The Transport Secretary is basically washing her hands of the problem at the Swallow Roundabout. Her response to my letter about the issues experienced by many motorists at the Roundabout is very vague and doesn’t address all the issues there.
“It is very clear that the new traffic system is causing many problems for motorists - the road markings cause confusion and it is no surprise there has been so much concern. We really need the SNP Transport Secretary to step up to the mark and start taking this issue seriously.”
