South Lanarkshire MSPs
South Lanarkshire MSPs are beginning to get stuck into the issues surrounding South Lanarkshire Council and freedom of information.
In one way or another I've heard from the following MSPs - James Kelly, Karen Gillon, Margaret Mitchell, Alex Neil and John Wilson.
Not all MSPs responded which could be for a variety of reasons including:
1 Some MSPs are just not interested - despite what they say
2 Some MSPs may have been on holiday
3 Some MSPs want to consult colleagues - before deciding what to do or say
4 Some MSPs are allowing another colleague to take the lead
In any event, the proof will be in the pudding - what MSPs actually do to stand up for their constituents - and hold South Lanarkshire Council to account.
The more people who contact their MSPs, the better - so once again 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.
