£1m for Rest and Be Thankful work
The A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful has been closed a number of times because of landslips.
Last week Mr Brown announced a further £1 million would be spent on mitigation work for future incidents, as well as additional contingencies at the site. Mr Brown found out more about some of the difficulties severe weather can cause during his visit, as well as the work being planned.
