Calls for SNP action after A83 closures

“RADICAL solutions” are called for from the SNP to solve the problems which have dogged a vital link road through the Highlands, critics have warned.

The call came after heavy rain led to landslides on the A83 in Argyll, which blocked the road at the scenic Rest and Be Thankful.

Tons of mud and rubble have led to closures between Ardgartan and the A815 Dunoon road end.

The worst affected areas are at Butterbridge and Glen Kinglas.
