It is a privilege to represent the Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn constituency as your MSP. I stay in Maryhill with my wife Janet, and young son. Before I became an MSP, I was a secondary school teacher for 10 years.
Since first being elected as a Glasgow MSP in 2007 I have worked hard to deliver for local constituents. As your constituency MSP for Maryhill and Springburn I hope to build on that progress, help to protect the communities I know best from the worst ravages of UK austerity, and deliver to all people in Maryhill and Springburn

The previous Council administration crazily failed to ensure access to the new campus was fully accessible and family friendly.
