Welcome to South Lanarkshire Liberal Democrats
We champion the freedom, dignity and well-being of individuals, we acknowledge and respect their right to freedom of conscience and their right to develop their talents to the full. We aim to disperse power, to foster diversity and to nurture creativity.
We trust local people to make decisions about their lives and their communities. People should have the power, flexibility and resources to change things for the better.
We believe federalism is the best future for Scotland and will continue to campaign for that.
The Liberal Democrats are the most pro-European party in British politics. We truly believe that we are stronger together, and internationalism will always be one of our core values.
We are internationalists because some goals are too big for nation-states to achieve on their own. Climate change and a healthy environment are two.
The Liberal Democrats have called for a fairer deal for local councils and strongly condemned the underfunding of local services that have led to fears of service cuts and closures of local facilities across Scotland.
“Public toilets have been one of the important things that have been been hit by the salami slicing cuts local communities have had from the SNP Scottish Government over the last decade."
Gloria Adebo, Liberal Democrat candidate for the Rutherglen & Hamilton West By Election has thanked local people for their support during the by election and congratulated Michael Shanks MP on his election.
Speaking ahead of polls opening in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election, Scottish Liberal Democrat candidate Gloria Adebo said:
Scottish Liberal Democrat candidate for Rutherglen and Hamilton West Gloria Adebo has today attacked the Scottish Government’s record and warned that cuts to local authority budgets are behind a string of closures threatening local services in the area.
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP will today be visiting Rutherglen and Hamilton West to campaign for Gloria Adebo, the party’s candidate in the upcoming by-election.
Liberal Democrats are committed to building town centres that inspire pride for generations to come. It is time to stop ignoring the decline of our high streets and breathe new life into them as vibrant hubs for the future.
Learning to drive is a vital life skill. Liberal Democrat members passed a new plan to clear the backlogs, end the rip-offs, and get the next generation moving.
