I remember being in Westminster when Labour joined @theSNP & made big play for justice for #WaspiWomen. Now only SNP stands by them. The economic changes Labour speaks of haven’t impacted their view of bankers bonuses, so why female pensioners who have suffered a gross injustice?
The SNP Budget agreed by D&G Council makes full use of Council Tax on 2nd Homes and will help offset £1.7m of savings as well as continuing to invest in the Town Centre Living Fund, regenerating town centres across the region. The Economy & Resources Committee agreed this week to support housing developments in town centres, including grant assistance to tackle Below Tolerable Standards properties, and a fund to help bring empty properties back in to use as affordable housing. Cllr Stephen Thompson as SNP group leader said: “Making affordable homes available, improving housing standards, and tackling vacant and derelict buildings is something we can and should do as a Council. Our SNP budget included the measures necessary for us to continue to support town centre regeneration initiatives and I’m pleased that Committee was able to agree this continued support.”ITV Border Daily Record Dumfries and Galloway!
