Fife - Scottish Greens

I’m standing for the Scottish Greens because I want to represent a voice neglected within Fife Council, a bolder, fresher voice that puts a radical
approach at the heart of local government.

Let's think positive about Glenrothes

Glen McGill Thu 13 Apr, 2017

We know Glenrothes lacks a centralised night-time economy and like any town it has its problems.

But rather than bemoan what is wrong, what do you like about the town? What is going well and can act as a catalyst for further improvement?

The Kingdom Centre is regularly far busier than high streets in similar towns. The choice of cafes and lunch spots has improved and there are fewer empty units than in many similar centres.

Being a Carer - my story

Glen McGill Wed 12 Apr, 2017

Caring for a loved one is challenging, scary, heart-breaking, lonely. Yet it can also be fulfilling, life-affirming and a real privilege.

Support and recognition are crucial.

I have managed without having to access support services for four years now. Sadly things are deteriorating and I know I am likely to need both professional support and the shoulders of friends before long.

Let's value the Arts in Fife

Glen McGill Wed 12 Apr, 2017

The Performing Arts - not as essential as having food on your table, shelter, heat, security.

But with more than 20 years of involvement with the local amateur and professional arts scene, I recognise the value and the contribution of the Arts to our communities and our daily lives.

In its simplest form it can be seen as entertainment - a distraction from the day-to-day routine.

Glenrothes Greens Assemble

Glen McGill Tue 11 Apr, 2017

Glenrothes has a team of three candidates from the Scottish Green Party standing for Fife Council this year.

Back in 2012, the Greens had just three candidates for the whole of Fife.

Lewis Campbell, Lorna Ross and Glen McGill are all ready to take on the challenge of delivering Fife its first Green councillors.
