May 2010 Update « Wendy Alexander MSP — Tue, 18 May 2010 14:15:48 +0000

[...] I have been asking a lot of questions in Parliament about the cancellation of Glasgow Airport Rail Link (GARL). GARL was estimated to bring 675 new jobs to Paisley town centre in the 3-4 years after its completion. These would have included many airport related office jobs. Businesses that cluster close to the airport but not on site would benefit. Hence it is vital this project with 675 new jobs potential is kept alive for the future. My party is committed to reinstating the line. If you want to read more about the 675 jobs the project could bring to Paisley click here [...]
