JANUARY

09/01/2025 - First SNP Councillor Catch Up of the New Year. Lots of concerns regarding upcoming budget and what services we can see be cut further. Plenty discussions held on how the SNP group can push back on these issues. Time will tell what services the Labour Group will cut and what backroom deals they will have with LibDems, Tories, and the Independents.

10/01/25 - Full group meeting of SNP Councillors. This was our “away day” where we meet in person to discuss the year ahead. Budget cuts were high on the agenda and we are appalled at some of the suggestions from this Labour administration. Although the largest group in council, the SNP are powerless to halt these cuts as they will most likely have the backing of the “Unionist Pact”

16/01/2025 - SNP Group meeting discussing ways in which we as councillors can improve the lives of our constituents. Focus was on the upcoming budget which we have concerns with.

28/01/2025 - Education resources Meeting. Unfortunately cut short due to a councillor taking ill in the chamber. Hope he recovers soon.
