Today I’m joining local MSPs in Cumbernauld for the next regional visit to mark @ScotParl’s 25th anniversary. We’re keen to hear from the community about how we can best represent the people in Central Scotland. Scotland’s Parliament belongs to its people and it’s vital their voices are heard and help shape Parliament’s future.

I recently visited Dunterlie with @scotparl colleagues, where we heard about the excellent work being done at a community level in Barrhead and Clydebank. The enthusiasm people have for the area is clear to see... ⬇️📽️💜 #ScotParl25 #WestScotland
