Wishing you a wonderful new year that only brings good news.
As the world continues to fight the pandemic, we wish for strength and good health for you and your family this new year. #NewYear2022

Happy Easter to everyone who is celebrating at this time of hope. #Easter2021   #HappyEaster

The @scotlibdems #PutRecoveryFirst in negotiations on the Scottish budget - this is what we negotiated. Our big hits were mental health, education and business support.

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

Everyone is affected by the environment. The cross-party budget we will vote for this week includes £2m of extra money for it. We have consistently led on this issue in South Lanarkshire, and it was important the cross-party budget included this funding to help our environment.

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

Many of us have become more aware of our local environment this last year. The nature trail, green belt and other outdoor spaces are important assets and we need to make sure people can enjoy them, stay active and live healthier and happier lives.

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

This shows it was well-worth doing the hard work and taking part in the cross-party budget negotiations. The measure is part of the agreement we've reached with the Independent, Conservative and SNP groups to pass a cross-party budget tomorrow.

Liberal Democrats Group led in securing this significant extra funding to provide much-needed support for children and young people, helping them overcome the damage done to their education and wellbeing by the pandemic.

Good joint initiative from Labour Councillor Mo Razzaq and Lib Dem Councillor Mark McGeever which deserves support from all parties on South Lanarkshire Council today.

People usually pay their council tax in 10 monthly instalments, with nothing coming off in February and March. Instead, we would like everyone to be able to choose which two months they don't have anything to pay. #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

COUNCIL TAX PAYMENT HOLIDAYS should be offered to help @SouthLanCouncil residents struggling through the Covid crisis. We want other parties to back the Lib Dem plan and ease pressure on people whose income has dropped. #COVIDー19 #counciltax

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

We have heard from many people who have seen their incomes reduce massively. Furloughed workers who have lost at least a fifth of their wages, and many self-employed and people on zero-hours contracts who have absolutely no money coming in at all.

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

Undoubtedly there are issues about the national response , about NHS funding and pay and above all about the slow pace of testing and supply of protective equipment. We also recognise the many other keyworkers who have bravely supported us all through these difficult times.

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

Local Liberal Democrats have joined calls to award our NHS the George Cross collectively. - Britain's highest civilian honour for gallantry to recognise the heroic work done by them during the coronavirus crisis.

What do people think? #georgecross #NHS #NHSCovidHeroes

Easter reminds us of forgiveness, compassion, kindness, principles shown by people of all faiths and none. We have seen such compassion and kindness in communities during this pandemic and offer our thanks. To all Christians and non-Christians -A joyful Easter. #EasterSunday2020

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

and make sure our NHS, care services and other frontline workers get the protective equipment they need without any further delay.

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

Health & care workers must get the kit they need to feel safe helping others. We're weeks into this crisis and councils and home care companies still can't get vital PPE, despite the Scottish & UK governments promising stocks are there. #PPE #Covid19 #PPEShortages #NHS

[Liberal Democrats Group South Lanarkshire Council @LibDemsSLC]

Ministers need to finally fix whatever is holding up delivery to the frontline. South Lanarkshire Council's Liberal Democrat Group has appealed to both governments to explain the full position #PPE #Covid19 #PPEShortages #NHS
