Councillor to stand at next Scottish Parliament elections

- KATHRYN ANDERSON

A Perth and Kinross councillor is standing as a candidate for Dunfermlin­e in the Scottish Parliament elections in 2021.

Strathearn councillor Roz McCall has been selected as the Conservati­ve candidate for the Fife constituen­cy.

The Strathearn representa­tive recently came third when she stood as the Westminste­r candidate for Cumbernaul­d, Kilsyth and Kirkintill­och East in the 2019 general election.

And while the previous Scottish Conservati­ves Holyrood candidate came third in Dunfermlin­e in the 2016 Scottish Parliament election, Cllr McCall is hopeful of turning things round.

She said:“I like to talk to people and see what the local problems are. I really believe our job is to work on behalf of people.

“The whole point of standing is to make a difference to people.

“I love it and that’s what I enjoy. When I get in that’s what I will do.”
