I was in Edinburgh this morning speaking at the launch of a New Local Democracy for Scotland. Here I argue that we must put right the forgotten aim of devolution - to disperse power not just from Westminster to Holyrood but onwards to communities. unisondave.blogspot.com/2024/09/new-lo…

Sadly I couldn't be at the launch but the 'Writings' and background briefing on buildlocal.scot offer a great introduction to the issues and opportunities for change. Watch the recording of the launch, read the arguments and please sign the Declaration.

Centralised decision making is at present solely responsible for Arrans economic dire state. Locals ignored. We can do projects WE want for fraction of the costs @JohnSwinney #Ferrychaos @CraigHattonCEO buildlocal.scot @LesleyRiddoch

Scotkand has the largest councils & weakest local democracy in Europe. Is that inertia, a govt belief big is beautiful, serious mistrust of community capacity or all the above? Check out @BuildLocalScot & sign our Declaration for genuine local democracy & a grassroots Scotland.
