SNP council candidate Billy McAllister has taken SNP Deputy Leader, Nicola Sturgeon on a tour of the Milton Ward. During the visit Billy and Nicola visited several places and spoke to a number of locals. 

Amongst the places visited was Miltonbank Primary and St Ambrose’s Primary, where they  chatted with parents at the end of the school day. During this time parents raised concerns over the lack of youth facilities in the area and their worry over the rising level of gangs in the area. They also took time out to chat to local shopkeepers and several customers at the shops in Skerry Terrace. The day finished with a trip to St Augustine’s playing fields  and a walk round Lambill where Nicola saw for herself the lack of recreation facilities for young people.

About Billy’s election bid Nicola said - “Billy has a great track record in helping the local community as an activist, but he will be able to do so much more as a councillor. I want him as part of the SNP team in the city chambers that stands up for our communities against Labour misrule. It’s not only Milton or even Glasgow that needs people like Billy to stand up for their interests, it’s Scotland wide. Billy has my full support in his campaign to be the next councillor of Milton ward on Februaury 16th.”
