Young Scots for Independence Falkirk

Martyn Day MSP has described Syngenta’s announcement that it intends to cease operations at its Grangemouth site, putting 377 jobs at risk, as another devastating blow for the local community.
He expressed his concern for the workers and their families, recognising that behind every job is a household facing uncertainty. The consequences will also extend to local suppliers, businesses and the wider Grangemouth economy.

Mr Day firmly opposes the proposed closure and is calling for the consultation period to provide a meaningful opportunity to challenge the decision and investigate every option to retain employment at the site. He will continue to press Syngenta to reconsider.

He is also demanding that the UK Labour Government urgently deliver the £200 million it promised to support Grangemouth. Following Economy Secretary Stephen Flynn’s statement that not a penny had been delivered, Mr Day said that hundreds more jobs being put at risk made immediate action essential. Grangemouth needs the funding it was promised, alongside a concerted effort to protect employment and secure its industrial future.

Today Martyn Day will be voting for the Scottish Government motion:

“That the Parliament agrees that Scotland is a nation that has a right to decide its own future.”

Whatever your constitutional position, surely no democrat can disagree with that?

CHOOSE - The Scottish Child Payment

The Scottish Child Payment is helping keep around 40,000 children out of relative poverty this year alone - cutting Scotland’s child poverty rate by around 4%.

It’s a policy only available in Scotland, because it’s a choice made by Scotland’s Parliament to support families.

Backing Grangemouth with Real Investment, Not Empty Promises The UK’s betrayal of workers at Grangemouth is unforgivable. But we said we’d do everything we could to back the community — and SNP is delivering. We’re allocating £8.5 million to support up to 460 new jobs in biotech and renewables at Grangemouth, proving that a long-term industrial future for the area is absolutely achievable.
