We have consistently found that antisocial behaviour primarily comes from a lack of healthier outlets. Our young people are growing up in a society that has cut back on providing for them, that has isolated them from their communities, and then questions why they might act out.

We believe clean, green streets and public spaces are essential for our local communities to thrive. If elected, a Scottish Green councillor would work hard to ensure that our community and local residents have access to a greener, cleaner and happier environment.

A decision we can really get behind, protecting natural environments is a fundamental core of the Scottish Greens! But more can & should always be done. Green councillors will push for more environmental protections across the city and Shire if elected in May, including rejecting AI data centres!

More North Sea oil drilling won't create jobs in Aberdeen, report finds
LIVING standards in Aberdeen have fallen below the UK average for the first time since 2003 – but more North Sea drilling will not mean more jobs…

The SNP have long promised a ban on cruel conversion practices, but time and again they have delayed. We can't wait for, or trust Westminster to deliver a watertight ban on these abusive practices; we need a Scotland-specific ban now.

This is something that is vastly important to many people across Scotland. In Aberdeen, we want to give more support to parents, we want to use community centres to give children of all ages somewhere to learn, develop, and play outside of an education setting, we want every child to be happy.

So disastrously irresponsible of this Labour leadership candidate. Any politician willing to promote burning more fossil fuels whilst Scotland is on fire, the UK is in drought and the just transition is starved of funding, is selling all our futures.

Good food should be something everyone can access. I'm pleased to lodge this motion welcoming the progress towards a public diner in Dundee. It's an exciting step towards tackling food inequality, strengthening communities and building a fairer food system.
Graphic promoting a Scottish Parliament motion lodged by Maggie Chapman MSP welcoming progress on Dundee's new public diner. The graphic includes a photo of Maggie Chapman on the left alongside the Scottish Parliament logo. The motion highlights Dundee University Students' Association as the catering provider for the one-year public diner pilot, welcomes the securing of a High Street location, and recognises the role public diners can play in improving access to healthy, affordable food, strengthening communities and supporting a more sustainable food system. The graphic encourages people to ask their MSPs to support Motion S7M-00789.

While it's great that the council are providing this funding, they are treating the symptoms of poverty rather than the causes. www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2026/06/05/2...
