    One of things I hope to do is accelerate the work on improving the active travel routes to schools.

    20 YEARS AGO

    My bold

    The Scottish Executive is supporting the M74 extension, a 3-lane 5-mile urban motorway through Glasgow. They will pay £214m, with local councils raising the remaining approx £36m. There are big arguments against the road even for those living elsewhere...

    £250m is a huge sum - enough for safe routes to every Scottish school
    , or 8000 Home Zones, or new Edinburgh rail lines to Penicuik, Galashiels, Airport and the Suburban [Spokes 80]. Without the M74, the Public Transport Fund could rise hugely.
