I was deeply saddened to learn today of the passing of my ward colleague, Councillor Lesley McDonald. Lesley was always pleasant and kind to me in my time so far in the council and people will appreciate her committed service to the Larkhall ward over the years - something to be proud of. (1/2)

⚖️ The Labour administration have completely abdicated their responsibilities. 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 The SNP will always stand by the parents, carers and pupils of South Lanarkshire in the face of a dismissive Labour administration that continuously ignores the concerns of our communities.

🚌 The guidance used to assess ‘safe’ walking routes to school is over 20yrs old and not fit for purpose — it doesn't even require a pavement. ❌ Labour have used that document to remove school transport from over 8,000 kids. 🟡 Today we brought a motion requesting a local review. 🥀 They blocked it.

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.

It's disappointing to see Labour and the Tories team-up again to deny Hamilton community groups funding they need+deserve. £0000s sitting unused specifically for this purpose. We call on Labour+coalition partners to end their austerity agenda and invest in the people & places of South Lanarkshire.

At today’s Executive Committee the SNP Group proposed Cllr Ross Clark as the Council’s Youth Champion. However, Labour and the Lib Dems joined forces with the Tories and Reform UK to vote through the Labour candidate. Labour once again prioritising their unionist pact over good local governance.

A desperately sad day in Parliament today. My deepest sympathies go out to everyone who knew and loved Christina McKelvie.

Statement: In memory of Christina McKelvie MSP

“This Parliament has lost one of our very best today. And I want to offer my deepest sympathy to all those who knew and loved Christina.

“Today is a moment of pain and sadness. But Christina’s life and her spirit deserve to be celebrated.

“In her first speech, she said she would “rather be a citizen of a nation that looks to persuade and co-operate than bully and cajole”

“She was talking about Scotland as a country, but I think those words also captured the kind of person she was, and the kind of politician she was.

“Lots of people in politics start out with those values and ideals, but Christina was someone who absolutely held fast to them.

“Compassion and kindness were at her core. As Christina’s partner, and our colleague, Keith Brown said today: she "lit up every room she was in” - that was certainly true of this room, our national Parliament. She brightened it in every sense.”

Patrick Harvie MSP.
