SUMMER LITTER CLEAN UP ACTION DAY♻️

Please note that street surgeries are moving surgeries, where the MSP and his team will knock on doors of pre-selected streets so cannot guarantee he will knock on your door.

The Scottish Conservatives have secured Parliamentary backing to bring forward energy efficiency targets by a decade.

On Monday I sadly had to attend the funeral of a local campaigner, Dave Clucas. He was a stalwart of the party who helped me in many campaigns and was always a friendly face you enjoyed having out on the campaign trail. He will be dearly missed by all.

On Tuesday, I attended an update on Negotiations on the EU (Withdrawal) Bill.

On Wednesday, I attended the Finance and Constitution Committee. I later attended the chamber for the Stage 3: Social Security (Scotland) Bill.

On Monday I held a surgery at the Banchory Business Centre - always great to meet with constituents and take forward their concerns.

On the weekend I spent a day with my daughter cleaning up litter in Banchory. It is important that communities start to take the initiative of keeping their local environment clean by picking up litter and bringing it home with them to dispose of.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable spring break with family and friends. I spent much of the break with my family or out in the constituency.

On Monday I held a surgery at the Banchory Business Centre. I appreciate my constituents coming out to see me.
