I caught up with SAMH to chat about the Wee Pink Dot project. I'm always happy to help raise awareness of mental health issues and press for better support, whether that means engaging with the great organisations we have working locally, or with those like SAMH who are active in Parliament.

This Disability Pride Month, I've been thinking about how too many folk still can't enjoy our local spaces due to a lack of accessible facilities. I'm delighted Eden Court secured Changing Places Toilets funding, and encourage others to consider applying to future rounds.

I was delighted to visit Knocknagael with Community Land Scotland to see the inspiring, ambitious plans being driven forward by local people. It’s folk like Maria who throw themselves into projects and drive them forward that get things done – but it shouldn’t be this hard.
Emma, Knocknagael, and Community Land Scotland stand in front of the newly-acquired land, grinning to the camera.  It is rainy.Maria shows Emma a map of the plans, while Emma holds an umbrellathe group look at the map as things are pointed to and explained.The group walks away from the camera, discussing the land around them as they take cover under an umbrella and coats.

Delighted Donna was happy for a puppy to join us as we chatted crofting! Wee Chicxulub had been a bit poorly over the weekend, so was sticking to me like a whelk. He's learned a lot about the Scottish Crofting Federation's priorities for this parliamentary session.

It won't have surprised ScotGov that my first question as Inverness and Nairn's MSP was seeking an update on the A96 dualling & Nairn Bypass. You can read the full answer at: www.parliament.scot/... I will continue to scrutinise progress and ensure we see a Nairn Bypass.

Like many who've been in touch with me last week, I was concerned by reports around decisions made in the Highland Council's Licensing Committee. I spoke with the BBC and said my primary thought when stories like this emerge is always with victims and survivors.

The withdrawal of Loganair services between Inverness and the Northern Isles is a great concern for islanders, but also has huge potential impacts on Inverness and the Inner Moray Firth, limiting a key pipeline of skilled energy workers. I raised this with the FM today.

What a day. I started knocking doors in Hilton, then Dalneigh - where I met the tiniest dog - while a team kept going in Merkinch. Then, of course, I went to see Caley Thistle get promoted from my usual seat in the North Stand. One win down - hoping for another next week! 🗳️💛

I welcomed John Swinney to Inverness this week as he announced that a new SNP Government will introduce first refusal for private tenants whose landlord decides to sell the property they live in. We're making a real difference in tackling the housing crisis.
John Swinney and Emma Roddick peer through the window of a house frame in a workshop, both wearing PPE. Overset text reads "We'll give tenants first refusal to buy private rental homes.  For a government that's on your side, vote SNP on 7th May."Emma and John take a walk around a workshop, with a man in an orange hi-vis jacked branded "MAKAR". Around them, others are taking photos or working away on panels of wood.Emma and John listen to the MAKAR tour guide, who is gesturing.

🏠 Housing is my top priority. Our new budget is great news for housing - we're building homes, buying back empty properties, finding suitable accommodation for households with children, and preventing homelessness and extortionate rents. I will always work hard to tackle housing issues.
Housing is my top priority. My experience of homelessness drives me to do all I can to prevent it. I've fought hundreds of housing cases, amended the Housing Bill to keep track of what landlords are charging, prompted change to ensure homeless students don’t miss out on EMA, spoken out on the rise of short-term lets and the impact this has. We must prioritise houses as homes. Argued for restrictions on 2nd homesThe SNP's current work on housing: Largest funding allocation to affordable housing since records began. £120m to buy at least 1,200 homes. At least £1.3m this year to buy empty homes. Helped est. 2,261 households with children into affordable housing. Action to keep rents below market benefits approx 140k children a year. Rent controls. £4m to prevent homelessness. £11.5m for rapid rehousing & the Fund to Leave

It was a bonus trip to the stadium for me this week to mark Scottish Apprenticeship Week, chatting to the seven boys who are earning while learning at Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC. We must support local talent if we want ICTFC – and Scotland! – to be competitive.

I was pleased to see the Highland News & Media Readers' Manifesto aligned closely with my own views and priorities for Inverness and Nairn. I responded in full, covering past achievements and plans for the future. You can read coverage of my response at: www.inverness-courie...
Four bullet points. 1 Housing is my top priority. Houses should be homes first and foremost. The geographical unfairness of energy bills is indefensible. Those who face colder winters, have old homes, & generate more energy should have lower bills. The SNP has provided record NHS funding. Waiting times have fallen for 8 months in a row. We built a National Treatment Centre. I've spoken up for road & rail improvements

I've been racing up and down on the train, making sure I'm in parliament to contribute to debates and vote on important matters, while also getting out and about on the campaign trail as much as possible.
Emma and two activists smile - there is snow in the background, but sun in their faces. Two other images of different campaign sessions are overlaid. Text reads "Continuing to campaign. I’m still getting out and about in Inverness and Nairn between parliament sittings - I and activists have welcomed the long-awaited first sun of the campaign while canvassing in Hilton, Merkinch, Smithton, and Auldearn!"Paper clippings read "Roddick raises concerns on proposed aesthetics regs" and, a quote from Emma, "I'm extremely disappointed to have had strong representation from people in the Highlands & Moray who are not being listened to." Below is a caption - "Alongside cross-party colleagues, I met with campaigners and spoke about the Moray FLOW Park. I met with the Health Minister to relay concerns about aesthetics law. "Emma takes a selfie inside Inverness Castle. Overset text reads "Seeing Inverness Castle officially open. It was wonderful to join in the official opening of Inverness Castle, alongside colleagues from the Scottish and UK Governments and the Highland Council.  The building is impressive and promotes meaningful, slow tourism across the Highlands - well worth a visit!"Emma smiles on Nairn Bandstand. Overset text reads "Voting for the SNP's budget. Our budget passed decisively and will now deliver for all of Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands. Having spoken with social care providers in the city - such as L'Arche - ahead of Stage 3, I was glad to see an extra £20m allocated to councils to cover pay rises to the Real Living Wage."

Overset text reads "It was fantastic to be joined by Fiona Hyslop for an SNP campaign fundraiser in Eden Court. Hearing her run through key SNP achievements in Inverness and Nairn - many of which she had a hand in - it was clear as ever that the SNP is the party for the Highlands.  I’m grateful for her support!"Emma and five other panel members smile in the official Debate Night photo. Overset text reads "I represented the SNP on the panel when Debate Night came to Fort William - talking tourism, energy bills, and Labour’s disastrous week as the party scrambled to avoid responsibility for links to Epstein.

I'm glad the Scottish Government listened to my calls for the Nairn Bypass to be brought forward to as soon as possible within the overall project timescale. This is what I have been arguing for, as it is the most urgent part of the dualling programme.
Emma smiles. Text says: "How it started" above a newspaper clipping of Emma in Parliament, captioned "Emma Roddick presses Transport Secretary on Nairn Bypass. I welcome the focus on A96 dualling, but the most urgent priority is the Nairn Bypass. I will continue to press the government to provide an earliest possible timeline." Followed by "How it's going" - government will start with the Nairn Bypass.

I am grateful to those who reached out about Inverness Women's Aid funding. Like many of you, I know intimately how vital these services are. On Monday, I spoke with IWA and wrote to the Highland Council, councillor colleagues, & the Scottish Government to see what can be done.
