The Housing Emergency
Today I contributed to a debate on the housing emergency facing both Scotland and the UK.
A partnership approach to tackle this issue will be vital. We will also require the reversal of the slashing of Scotland's capital budget by the UK Labour Government if we are to do all we can.
Winter Fuel Payment
Earlier this week, I wrote to our local Labour MPs - Marueen Burke and Martin Rhodes. I urged them to reject the plans to remove Winter Fuel Payments from thousands of constituents here in Glasgow.
I wanted to work collaboratively with them, that's why I did not publicise my letter on social media. However, following the vote they have made their views public - see the Glasgow Times article
As such, I now wanted to express my view.
Tackling the Misuse of Off-road Vehicles
As part of an on-going campaing to tackle the misuse of Off-Road Vehciles - such as Quad Bikes - I led a Members Business debate in the Scottish Parliament. During the debate, I welcomed the support from MSPs from other parties. This truly is an issue that impacts people all over Scotland.
As part of this I, along with Councillor Allan Gow, have written to the UK Government given the fact much of what is needed is reserved to Westminster. I hope to work in partnership with the UK Government on this matter.
