Ministers slammed for failure to make progress on driving cuts

- DAN VEVERS

SNP ministers have been slammed after delaying a long-awaited climate plan on cutting Scots' car use which was due in the autumn.

The Scottish Government has set a goal to reduce car kilometres by 20 per cent by 2030 in the effort to drive down emissions.

A draft route map was first published in 2022 but the final version is "nowhere to be seen" more than two year's later, said Labour's Monica Lennon.

It comes after the SNP already ditched an overall target to slash emissions by 75 per cent by the end of the decade.

The move to abandon the goal set by Nicola Sturgeon's government was due to it no longer being deemed achievable.
