“The cancellation of a project, that had originally obtained overwhelming parliamentary approval would have a knock-on effect on Scotland’s chances at attracting future events”, says the website. Scottish business leaders are campaigning extensively to persuade Finance Secretary John Swinney to change his mind and deliver the project and the new website is their latest move.

The website is publishing a letter to the Secretary signed by six leading business organizations: CBI Scotland, FSB Scotland, IoD Scotland, Scottish Chambers of Commerce, Scottish Council for Development & Industry and Scottish Financial Enterprise. The webpage also contains facts about GARL and reasons why the project should be put back on track.

The plans to build GARL were scrapped when Scottish Government announced its draft budget for 2010-2011 in mid September this year.
