Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it considers that there is a sufficiency of "white-lining" operators to ensure that companies responsible for trunk road maintenance can meet their obligations to maintain public safety on the trunk road network and on roads maintained by local authorities.
Answer
We are satisfied that our Operating Companies have the necessary road marking resources and capability to meet contract requirements and deliver our programmes of road marking work on the trunk road network. Local roads are the responsibility of the local authorities.
