South Lanarkshire MSPs

Here's a list of Holyrood MSPs covering the South Lanarkshire Council area.

Constituency MSPs
The following constituency MSPs all cover specific geographical areas of the council - and will normally only deal with constituents living in their local constituency - are five all Labour party MSPs.

- Clydesdale

James.Kelly.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - Rutherglen

Andy.Kerr.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - East Kilbride

Tom.McCabe.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - Hamilton South

Michael.McMahon.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - Hamilton North

Central Scotland - List MSPs
The Central Scotland group of List MSPs covers the bulk of the South Lanarkshire Council area - and can raise issues on behalf of constituents living in area.

The idea of a list MSP is to achieve political balance across the country - to provide local people with a choice of whom to contact for advice and support - in case one single party dominates the constituency MSP section - as Labour does in South Lanarkshire.

Alex.Neil.msp@scottish.parliament.uk

Experience suggests that MSPs are reluctant to criticise their local council if it is controlled by their own party.

South Lanarkshire is Labour controlled with the support of the Conservatives - strange as it seems - but people will need to make up their own minds about how to proceed and whom to contact.

A full list of all MSPs - along with contact phone numbers - can be obtained from the Scottish Parliament web site - http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/
