Thanks to a record-breaking budget settlement from the SNP Scottish Government, proposed cuts can be rejected and investments can be made in our schools, our communities and the growth of our local economy.

South Lanarkshire Council's annual budget setting process is almost complete and your SNP Councillors have been working hard with other parties over the past few months to deliver on the priorities that matter to you.

Pleased that @rossclarksnp.bsky.social and I got this amendment passed. The UK Gov is trampling over Scotland’s devolution settlement, and trampling over the work local government's being doing to empower our communities. This top-down nonsense doesn't wash with folk anymore, and it's not on 🥀

School bus update 👇 As you'll hear from the clip, the Labour Administration pulled a last minute amendment out the bag which not only removed any reference to the deep concerns of parents, carers, and pupils, but is as clear as mud 🤷‍♀️ Our SNP Group will always be on the side of affected families.

The latest school transport update 🚌👇 We have tried to get these safe walking route guidelines reviewed before, but have been denied because the process was ongoing. Now these ridiculous bus cuts have been implemented, that excuse has gone. Follow the link to watch Wednesday's Full Council live.

We have submitted an urgent business request to discuss Labour’s cuts to school transport at the Executive Committee meeting this morning. We demand that Councillors have a chance to scrutinise the final details of the cuts before they are introduced - this may be the last opportunity.

This popped into my head again tonight after *everything* in the Spring Statement, and parents in my ward learning today that 88% of weans at one school are losing their school bus thanks to the Lab/Lib Administration. An evergreen clip 🥀

This headline is misleading. Reeves has not been "forced" to find an additional £1.6 billion in cuts to benefits. She has CHOSEN to impose more cuts on benefits because she refuses to raise taxes on the wealthiest. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I'm seeing a lot of craft, so here's my still pretty wonky stained glass work. I taught myself via YouTube and bloody stubbornness. This the last thing I finished, from a pattern, and the curves nearly did me in. I'm making some fish now, and will probably be finished by hogmanay at this rate 🐟🐠
