Maryhill and Springburn Constituency - Bob Doris
|
Experienced, able and passionate about Independence. Making a difference at Holyrood. |
In 2007 I was honoured to have been elected to serve the city of Glasgow as a member of the Scottish Parliament. I hold ten surgeries a month and I consider grassroots community work a key part of our fight for Independence.
My achievements include winning £5m of Town Centre Regeneration Fund cash for Maryhill, Govan and Bridgeton, and putting pressure on the council to deliver £40 per week for up to 1000 kinship carers.
I have also steered legislation through parliament claming down on unfair repossessions.
I help an ever increasing number of constituents who contact me about issues affecting them. I welcome all constituent enquiries whether they are personal matters or they are of a wider political nature. |

Alternative funding through Network Rail is already allocated to projects like the Edinburgh-Glasgow Improvement scheme. Investing that funding in GARL would mean delaying that scheme.

However even at such a distance it is a reminder of the hazards of nuclear power, and the terrible events in Japan.

SNP MSP for Glasgow, Bob Doris, has called on his Labour opponent to "up her game" as the Scottish Parliament election campaign officially kicked off. Rounding on a newspaper column written by Ms Ferguson, Doris called on the Labour politician to distance herself from the shameful politicking and blatant hypocrisy being peddled by the Labour party in the run up to the election.
Writing in a local newspaper, Ms Ferguson claims she has "supported action to deliver more apprenticeships and a living wage" when she actually voted against the SNP Government's last budget, which provided a record number of new apprenticeships.

An ICM poll published in the Sun shows a gap of just four points between the SNP and Labour in the constituency vote for the Scottish Parliamentary elections - and the SNP already ahead of Labour in terms of who is best to govern Scotland.
SNP MSP for Glasgow Bob Doris has called on SNP activists to fight for every last vote as he prepares to take on Labour in the new Maryhill and Springburn seat. A new YouGov poll on the pollster's website today shows a dramatic narrowing of the gap from 9 points last month to just 3 points now.
