"This has been a long standing issue, since the creation of the roundabout, which predates the SNP Government coming to power in 2007.

"Improved road safety measures on the A78 Trunk Road is a campaign I have led, on behalf of constituents, for sometime now as we feel the upgrade is required to provide better safety conditions.

"Therefore, this announcement demonstrates the SNP Government is listening to the people of Inverclyde and taken action to address road safety issues."
