Local Services are what matter to me

Dear oh dear - bit of a stooshie in the local paper today. You know you've won the argument when people rely on idle gossip and tittle-tattle, rather than facts.

Frankly, the leader of the Council SNP Group should be defending the local-SNP role in:

• cutting hundreds of thousands of pounds of funding in the Forth Ward
• failing to take forward the renewal of Granton Primary
• failing to take forward the renewal of Royston/Wardieburn Community Centre
• threatening to close the Pilton CAB office

These are some of the real issues that matter to the people of Forth.

Its clear to me that the local SNP/Lib-Dem Council is failing Forth and, personally, I am campaigning to give voice to the old, the young and the vulnerable so they have a chance of retaining the local services they so badly need.

Idle gossip and tittle-tattle won't help a single resident of Forth.
