Scrap the Second Forth Road Bridge – not public transport investment
Paul Tetlaw, Chair of Transform Scotland said:
"It is sad indeed to see Councillor Cardownie once again trying to stir up anti-trams feeling. The current contractual issues are unfortunate but do not change the basic facts that trams are the right way forward for Edinburgh - as they know only too well right across Europe.
"If the Councillor really cares about the wellbeing of the city then he should be calling for a referendum on the second Forth Road Bridge. Costed at over £2bn it will blow a hole in the Government's capital budget hitting schools and hospitals and encourage many more cars onto the streets of Edinburgh."
