Charlie Gordon is Scottish Labour’s spokesperson for Transport. 

Scottish Labour wants to see more targeted road safety measures implemented to cut the number of road deaths throughout Scotland every year. 

Scottish Labour has also raised concerns about delays to road upgrades across Scotland - some up to three years. The huge delays highlight the mess the SNP are making of Scottish transport policy. 

If the SNP and Transport Scotland cannot deliver key roads projects on time, it raises serious questions about the proposed replacement Forth Crossing. Scotland cannot afford delays or cost over-runs on such a major project. Ministers need to take urgent action to identify and resolve problems, ensuring lessons are learnt from Transport Scotland's failure to deliver these road projects.

Charlie Gordon also backs plans for a high-speed railway line between Scotland and London, which would benefit Glasgow and Edinburgh. The service will see passengers' journey time to London cut to just over two hours by 2030.
