Councillor update Aug-Sep 2023
This month I’ve been very focussed on street work, responding to residents’ requests but also getting action off the back of pro-active street audits that the community and I did over the summer.

Thanks to everyone involved for highlighting the issues and taking action themselves to report things – you can too! Report issues to myself or customer.services@southlanarkshire.gov.uk or by calling the council customer services centre at 0303 123 1015. I also put forward a motion to assess council and councillors plans for their impact on sustainability – and it was accepted.…

Repairs info for residents: The last few weeks I’ve been helping an elderly homeowner to get her back step and handrail fixed – crucial for her safety and ability to get out the house.

Councillor Update, March / April 2023
Spring is finally here, the hedgerows and bluebells are about to blossom and the nights are getting longer. It’s a great time to get out and about more and enjoy the spaces and places on our doorstep in East Kilbride East.
