Please ask your councillor via www.writetothem.com to support my motion on “Investing in Housing & Investigating Rent Controls” at full council next week to bring forward important action on housing. Thank you! @southlangreens.bsky.social @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social @scottishgreens.org

November highlights here. Keep reporting your issues and ideas to me and together we'll keep making your lives and our area better. @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social @southlangreens.bsky.social @electlauramoodie.bsky.social @scottishgreens.org

9️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣+ Welcome to all our new members! 👋

Have your say on potential savings to help meet the council's budget gap. Every year councillors get a report on public views of different cuts options so please do fill the survey out. Every year there are also options for investment to improve lives and our place too. I want to hear those too.

More action on recycling, fly tipping and litter was approved by councillors yesterday worth £2.5 million, including recent proposals that I put forward backed by the SNP that responded directly to your concerns. See thread @scottishgreens.org @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social @southlangreens.bsky.social

A great door knocking session in East Kilbride yesterday. We listened to voters concerns and are taking action to help. Join new members and voters alike to elect Laura Moodie - @scottishgreens.org as Green MSP for this region in May next year. Join our movement today Greens.scot/Join

On top of casework, here's the highlights from October. @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social @electlauramoodie.bsky.social @scottishgreens.org @southlangreens.bsky.social

A new poll has the Scottish Greens on a record breaking 18 MSPs! This would make us the second largest party in Scotland, ahead of Labour, the Tories and Reform. This poll shows what's possible. We can build a fairer, greener Scotland: www.greens.scot/join

I'm bringing an important motion to next Wednesday’s Full Council meeting, during #ScotClimateWeek: “South Lanarkshire’s Climate Emergency Declaration”. Please message your councillors to ask them to support it - see thread. Thank you Cllr Ross Clark for seconding this motion. #thinkglobalactlocal

At the recent climate committee, we got a response to my Nature Emergency declaration motion that councillors passed at full council last year. Councillors agreed that nature holds tremendous value and agreed that the decline in nature is an emergency and actioned the following in thread:

We were so close to electing Laura Moodie - Scottish Green Party last time around. South of Scotland needs a Green MSP. Please chip in what you can to help fund the campaign.

Good news on Inverclyde. We are waiting to hear about South Lanarkshire's approach to 20mph. Until then, please sign the petition at www.change.org/p/introduce-...

Love Calderglen Park? Me too. Find out more about a new draft vision and project proposals. Have your say. Basic infrastructure, safety and staffing first I say, then new projects if appropriate. More info and link to more views and survey here: www.facebook.com/100064026366...

Loads of great local climate action events over the next month in North and South Lanarkshire lanarkshireclimateactionfestival.net/festival-pro...

At today's Executive meeting, Green Councillor @krobbgreen.bsky.social proposed use of one-off money for a Cleaning up South Lanarkshire fund to tackle litter and fly tipping. View the debate 9 minutes and 10 seconds in at www.youtube.com/live/MusOxEC...

So good to be out on the doorsteps in EK. Thanks all for joining us and chatting to us, gearing up to @electlauramoodie.bsky.social in South of Scotland in 2026.

Secured by Green Councillor @krobbgreen.bsky.social, it's great to see this scheme now open up. The idea is to help people deal with compostable waste close to home, save people money on the garden charge and provide you with garden compost into the future.

We had a brilliant day at Pride South Lanarkshire in Hamilton yesterday. Huge congrats to the organisers, speakers and supporters for a fantastic event. We celebrate the LGBT+ community, the joy that comes with living as the person you are and highlighting the progress still to be made.

And finally, we have not 1, but 3 fabulous top candidates for the Glasgow region in next year's Holyrood elections. This region covers Rutherglen, Cambuslang and Blantyre in South Lanarkshire. @patrickharvie.bsky.social @elliebgomersall.bsky.social @hollybruce.bsky.social @glasgowgreens.bsky.social

Announcing the second of our regional MSP candidates covering different parts of South Lanarkshire, we have the wonderful @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social standing for Central Scotland and Lothians West.

Thank you for highlighting this. It's absolutely shocking. Another reason why rent controls are needed @patrickharvie.bsky.social @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social @lauramoodie.bsky.social

Get involved to elect @lauramoodie.bsky.social - details in the post below.

Huge congratulations to @lauramoodie.bsky.social as lead candidate for the South of Scotland for the @scottishgreens.org in next year's Scottish Parliament elections. Message us to join the campaign to help make that happen.

Looking forward to joining #PrideLanarkshire on 2nd August in Hamilton. Campaigning for visibility, solidarity and inclusion with our LGBTQI+ friends. lanarkshirepride.co.uk @southlangreens.bsky.social

Do you live in private rented accommodation? In South Lanarkshire average 2-bedroom monthly rents have rocketed by 34% in 5 years. @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social says it's time to end rip off rents uk.news.yahoo.com/robust-rent-.... Add your voice to end rip off rents here: greens.scot/EndRipOffRents

Really pleased @scottishgreens.org were able to secure expanding free school meals in South Lanarkshire.

Zack is spot on. We’ve made income tax fairer in Scotland, but there’s so much more we can and must do on property and wealth taxes to make sure the rich pay their way and no one has to live in poverty

This Carers Week we are shining a spotlight on the inequalities that millions of unpaid carers face in every aspect of their lives. Unpaid carers are the backbone of society, propping up our health and social care systems and providing essential care to those who need support.

How much of these billions could be used on cheap public renewables, on retrofitting homes or on battery storage. A whole multitude of things that would make your energy cheaper in a cost of living crisis. More public money spent to boost the profits of energy companies.

Thanks to your actions, the government has recalled the application for a mega resort in Loch Lomond. They will now examine the case again.

Every party: The current Council Tax system is absurdly broken @scottishgreens.org: *Table a proposal to fix it* Every other party: That would upset some (really rich) people, so no

Far too many people are being made to pay rip-off rents. It’s leaving them with very little left to pay for food, heating and electricity bills, or to simply enjoy their lives. Homes are for living in, not for grotesque profiteering. uk.news.yahoo.com/robust-rent-...

Transport remains Scotland's largest source of emissions. But it doesn't have to be. 🚌 Provide reliable, affordable & accessible public transport 🚴 Invest in walking, wheeling and cycling infrastructure 🚆 Increase rail connections and ferries as an alternative to flying

🌊 Our oceans are vital – for life, for climate, for communities. On #WorldOceanDay, let’s celebrate them and commit to protect and restore them. Photos from my day with @seasavers.bsky.social‬ #OceanJustice #ClimateAction #WorldOceanDay2025 #ScottishGreens
