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.

Karen.Gillon.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - 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.

Jamie.Hepburn.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - SNP

Linda.Fabiani.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - SNP

Christina.McKelvie.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - SNP

Margaret.Mitchell.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - Conservative

Alex.Neil.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - SNP

Hugh.O'Donnell.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - Lib Dem

John.Wilson.msp@scottish.parliament.uk - SNP

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/

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
