SCOTTISH ministers were accused today of “wreaking havoc” with public services as Labour cited delays to key infrastructure projects totalling over 29 years.

The party’s criticism followed a progress update on major capital projects across Scotland, highlighting delays caused by construction issues, labour shortages and inflation.

The report identified 19 delayed projects, including the two CalMac ferries being built at Ferguson Marine in Port Glasgow.
