Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP West of Scotland) and member of the Scottish Parliament’s Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee has today welcomed a number of SNP Government initiatives rolled out across Inverclyde on 1 April to help constituents financially.
As well as a further full council tax freeze, prescription charges will be reduced to £4 paving the way for the complete abolition of prescription charges.
People in Inverclyde will also see the Small Business Bonus Scheme fully implemented with hundreds of small businesses paying no rates at all, and many more seeing rates reduced even further.
Mr. McMillan said;
"The SNP Government can’t be accused of being April Fools when we see prescription charges cut again, another council tax freeze, further cuts for small businesses and much more.
"The Scottish Government are actively helping people in Inverclyde during this economic downturn. It’s a pity the same can’t be said for the UK Government.
"Time and again we are seeing measures from the SNP Government to tackle the inefficiencies caused by successive previous administrations and I am sure these new actions will be welcomed across Inverclyde".
