Over the (bridge) to Skye

Over to Skye today, to meet local campaigner Robbie the Pict and campaign in Kyleakin and Broadford.

Robbie said:

"When the SSP were in Parliament from 2003 - 2007, Carolyn Leckie and Barbara Scott were stalwart supporters of the SKAT campaign to abolish tolls on the bridge. The people of Skye owe them a debt of gratitude.

"The SSP are the only party still campaigning to resolve the mess left by the Skye Bridge Tolls and get justice for the people of Scotland."

SSP top of the list candidate Pam Currie said:

"The Skye Bridge is one of the biggest examples of the great PPP/PFI disaster. Millions of pounds of public money have gone into the coffers of private companies, who are the real beneficiaries of these schemes. The mainstream political parties all have questions to answer on the legality of the Skye Bridge and on the public money wasted on PPP/PFI schemes."
