Swinney: Edinburgh Tramline Local, No Gov't Funding
Description
First Minister John Swinney emphasizes that the proposed Edinburgh tramline is a local project, with the Scottish government not contributing funds. He highlights the successful completion of the Newhaven extension without government cash, and criticizes past funding issues that delayed the A9 road dualling. Swinney also addresses the SNP manifestos rejection of the Roseburn Path route and its push for starting construction on the southern stretch first. With elections approaching, Swinney urges SNP votes to secure progress on NHS improvements, cost-of-living aid, and Scotlands future.
