One of your Lothians MSPs
“Over the next two years, I'll be spending my time in the parliament getting a better deal for everyone in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
“More affordable housing to both buy and rent, safer streets, better community and sports facilities and substantial investment in our public transport system are all issues high on my list of priorities.
“I hope that you will use this website not only to keep up to date with life in the parliament, but also as a snapshot of life in the Lothians. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do get in touch.”
