Vow to protect key services

Our council services are at the heart of people’s lives. Only a vote for Labour will protect those services we all rely on so much.

Under savage cuts imposed by the Tories at Westminster and callously passed on to councils by the SNP government, South Lanarkshire Council has had £100 million cut from its budget.

Against this background, Labour-controlled South Lanarkshire Council has delivered an unrivalled schools modernisation programme.

It has progressively improved its housing stock and has pledged to build 1000 new council houses; protected its social care budget despite SNP indifference and saved jobs and frontline services. That’s the proud track record on which your East Kilbride Labour candidates are standing.

It’s about putting our community first and helping to deliver a fairer and more prosperous East Kilbride.

It’s why we’ve been out campaigning in your neighbourhood and on your doorstep. We are on your side, listening to you and delivering for our community.

We are committed to protecting our NHS and improving services for our older and vulnerable neighbours, providing more affordable social needs housing, giving our children the best start in life, providing jobs, training and apprenticeships for our young people and delivering safer streets and play areas for our children.
