Stewart Stevenson apologised for his handling of the chaos brought on by the freezing weather Related stories
Scotland’s beleaguered Transport Secretary Stewart Stevenson has resigned.
Mr Stevenson has faced days of pressure over the way he handled the chaos caused by the recent freezing weather.
Snow and ice brought much of central Scotland’s road network to a standstill earlier this week.
The SNP MSP said he “could have done much more to ensure that members of the public were better informed of the situation”.
Mr Stevenson, the MSP for Banff and Buchan, said: “I deeply regret that and for that reason I feel I should step down.”
