Welcome,
It is a privilege to represent the Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn constituency as your local Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP).
I stay in Maryhill with my wife, together with my young son and daughter. Before I became an MSP, I was a secondary school teacher for ten years. Since first being elected as a Glasgow MSP in 2007 I have worked hard to deliver for local constituents. As your constituency MSP, I will continue to help to protect the communities I know best and deliver to all people in Maryhill and Springburn

Off-peak fare success helps us explore Scotland with ScotRail
The trial which has seen the removal of peak time fares being removed from ScotRail has been a huge success. It helps with commutes to work, getting out and about, visits to family and much more. It has also helped make journeys across Scotland more affordable for constituents. So when rail travel elsewhere in Scotland was raised in Parliament, I sought to make just that point. For those that can, I would encourage constituents to use our rail network to see what Scotland has to offer.
It is welcome news that passengers have, on average, seen a saving of 20% on travel costs.
I know the Scottish Government is reviewing the success of this trial, and I look forward to finding out if this can be supported further.
Fair Fares in Maryhill and Springburn
Recently, the Scottish Parliament debated the “Fair Fares Review” (you can read this at https://www.transport.gov.scot/our-approach/strategy/fair-fares-review).
MND Scotland Annual Parliamentary Event
It was a privilege to host MND Scotland's annual parliamentary event in The Scottish Parliament on Tuesday night (16 April). The annual event is always hugely powerful, particularly meeting those living with MND, their families and their friends. As well as all those working to improve care.
