🛣️ Roads and pavements remain one of the biggest concerns raised with us by local residents.
That’s why at last week’s Full Council meeting, our Group Leader Councillor Carolyne Wilson for Annandale North put forward a Motion highlighting the frustration many people feel that, despite significant investment, the condition of the roads and pavements outside their front door often isn't improving as they would expect.
The motion was about making sure those concerns are heard, examining whether we can do things better, and continuing to push for the quality of roads and pavements our communities deserve. 🚧♿️

'The UK government is not responsible for the massive failures of the devolved government in terms of declining Scottish education standards, out of control waiting lists in Scottish hospitals, the scandal of infection in the QEUH in Glasgow, the highest drugs deaths in Europe, the crises in the ferry service and in our universities, and much more.

'The UK government is not responsible for the Murrell scandal and the determination of John Swinney and his party to avoid answering difficult questions about it that are left hanging in the air.

'Above all, the UK is not responsible for the growing scale of corruption in Scottish politics, with a government that believes it is not accountable and does not need to be transparent.' || LETTERS 👇
