Great to be working with our friends from @Halfwaycc and volunteers to clean up Cambuslang today. A big thank-you to everyone for giving up their Sunday morning to clear up junk and litter, and to the @SouthLanCouncil waste team for picking up the piles of rubbish collected. 👏👏

@BonnieBlantyre @TheCaley @KSBScotland Congratulations @BonnieBlantyre 😀

My thoughts are with everyone caught up in what would have been a frightening incident @wearehairmyres last night. The reports I’ve had about the fire make very clear that staff responded heroically to ensure the safety of patients. Thank you to them ��

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

Independence is about Scotland - everyone who lives here - determining the path we want to take at home and in the world. For those of us already convinced, let’s keep persuading others, with respect and civility. We all have a stake in the future we build #IndyRef2 #Yes

We intend to re-open local household waste and recycling centres on 1 June, if the Scottish Government advises it is safe to do so. We are finalising temporary arrangements to protect site users and staff, and will issue further advice in the coming days.

"For too long, banks have been allowed to cut local services to the bone". Many thanks @MargaretFerrier for highlighting branch closures in Cambuslang. The test of @RishiSunak's budget commitment is whether it helps unbanked communities like ours https://t.co/XeT4YbsvPE @WhichUK

Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2020 out today: 40% of areas in Cambuslang East & 25% in Cambuslang West are in the bottom 20%, some in bottom 5%. Despite big efforts to improve lives and counter austerity, depressingly little change since 2012. Need for a new strategy?

[Cambuslang CC @CambuslangCC]

Thanks @SouthLanCouncil for inviting us to present a workshop on the Cambuslang regeneration strategy (more at https://t.co/H3XFYzkYFd) at the SL Community Participation & Empowerment Conference. A good day of knowledge exchange & networking, hopefully start of a new era.

Our article in today's @heraldscotland on the personal an d commercial impact of the loss of @RBS, @clydesdalebank and @tsb branches within 18 months in Cambuslang. This is a problem for towns throughout Scotland and UK. Access to cash is still vital for so many vulnerable people
