As we enter 2026, many in Easterhouse & Springburn are still asking the same questions: Why are our streets dirty? Why are businesses closing? Why are so many young people left behind?
This year, you deserve better answers and real action.
That’s why I’m standing to be your Scottish Conservative MSP for Easterhouse & Springburn. I’m not here to offer empty slogans. I’m here to help clean up our streets, rebuild trust in public services, support local jobs, and restore pride in our area.
It starts with the basics:
- 🧹 Tidy, safe communities that families can be proud of
- 🧒 Stronger schools, skills and youth programmes
- 🏘️ Local business support to grow our economy and create jobs
- 🏥 A serious plan to reduce NHS delays and waste
- 🌱 A practical environmental strategy not one that punishes the poorest
For too long, parties like the SNP, Greens and Labour have treated our communities like political pawns. They’ve raised costs, centralised power, and made life harder for those trying to build something better.
But change is possible with the right leadership and a common-sense Conservative plan.
This blog will share my ideas, listen to your concerns, and hold power to account. Together, we can make 2026 a turning point for Glasgow East.
Let’s rise.
