Restrictive immigration policies are causing Argyll and Bute to lose valuable members of our communities and are seriously impacting our economy. If the UK Government won’t act to resolve this, they should devolve the powers to the Scottish Parliament.

Our climate is changing and incidents of extreme weather are becoming far more frequent. In recent years we’ve felt the consequences of extreme levels of rainfall here in Argyll and Bute and so we need to do all we can to minimise the risks of flooding.
