Scottish Greens can bring climate focus to councils
Scottish Greens councillors will deliver change for communities by thinking globally and acting locally.
The party’s manifesto was launched today, committing to focus local authorities on the priorities the Scottish Greens have brought to government – by bringing climate and social justice to planning decisions and local services.
Speaking ahead of the launch, Scottish Greens co-leader Lorna Slater said: “We are working for Scotland in government, tackling the climate emergency and the cost of living through things like free bus travel for young people and doubling the Scottish Child Payment.
“Now, with record investment in nature restoration, recycling and active travel, and the biggest teacher recruitment drive in 15 years, we need more councillors to deliver this work in our communities.
“This can only be done if you give your Scottish Greens candidate your first preference vote, which is why we are asking voters to Think Global and Act Local on May 5th.”
