A vote for your community

THE UPCOMING Local Council elections provide a unique opportunity for the people vote for a legislative body that can be focused on local issues that affect the day to day lives of constituents. They are not voting for policy priorities that will focus on other areas in Scotland, but rather solely for the interest of their immediate community.

We in the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party believe that councillors should have a laser focus on the communities that they serve, rather than be distracted by national politics. That is why we are committed to delivering on your local priorities in your communities across Scotland.

Here in Edinburgh, we have had five years of SNP leadership with nothing positive to show for it. From chaos on the roads to a lack of social care, the legacy of this session is nothing but failure to deliver on the priorities of local people.

On 5 May, we here in Edinburgh have a chance to send a clear message to the SNP that we will not stand for a council that is more interested in the legislative priorities of Nicola Sturgeon than the residents of this great city. We can send this message with a vote for your Scottish Conservative and
