Chris says :-
“My main political interests are crime and safety, youth issues and transport, all of which are key issues in Linlithgow. In addition to that, the Scottish administration must work with the British Government to encourage private sector renewal and investment in West Lothian, not only to bring prosperity to the area, but also to make the county more resilient to future pressures on public sector finances.
“On the environment, I am right behind David Cameron’s push for a sustainable greener economy, such as incentive based recycling and protecting the Green Belt.
“I believe that fewer young offenders should be sent to institutions and more use should be made of community payback, which gives them a stake in their community. However it must be more rigid and for a longer period of time so that offenders can learn a proper skill to equip themselves for the employment market when they come out the other end.
“I am also fully behind the new A to B rail link and believe it will open West Lothian to more jobs and opportunities to the west. I oppose congestion charging in Edinburgh.”
The West Lothian Conservatives have a pretty good website and WordPress blog which appears to be regularly updated.
