    Councillor Update, January 2023

    9 February 2023 /

    The new year has started super busy with ward case work. I’ve been helping people deal with fly tipping issues, which is a crime and costs a lot for the council (or volunteer time) to clean up. So please deal with rubbish responsibly to free up more money for essential front line services. I’ve also been dealing with quite a few queries around condensation / damp in buildings. Just contact me if I can help you with anything. Local Business (East Kilbride East) After the Long Calderwood parent council AGM, we submitted the lottery funding application for equipment for pitch – fingers crossed for that! I visited the Wingate Friendship…

    Councillor Update, June 2022

    30 June 2022 /

    As the first Green councillor in South Lanarkshire, I’ve been straight to work on learning more and taking action on the issues raised on the doorsteps during the election campaign and issues we’ve been campaigning on for many years. To date I’ve progressed 50 items of case work for constituents, covering everything from keeping access paths open to bins, to traffic issues, pavement and housing repairs and much more in between. In terms of the difference a Green councillor makes, I’ve kept the community much more informed about developments at Hazelhead Park, asked for greater dialogue on the management of Glen Esk Park and sought more information for local people…

    Think Global Act Local South Lanarkshire Greens were joined by activists from across the country at our Manifesto launch in East Kilbride. It is clear that many of the challenges we face are global, but we know that solutions can and must be delivered at a local level. Last summer, the Scottish Greens made history by becoming the first Greens to enter central government in UK history. Action by the Scottish Greens has already led to free bus travel for young people, unprecedented action on single-use plastics and record investments in recycling, nature restoration and active travel. South Lanarkshire Greens are clear. The only way to get a Fairer, Greener…
