McMillan Encourages Residents to be “Good Winter Neighbours”

Stuart McMillan MSP SNP has today (Monday) urged people across West Scotland to respond to the current cold weather by looking out for vulnerable people in their communities.

Mr. McMillan said;

"As we head into winter, and with conditions forecast to remain very cold for some time to come, it seems likely that local authorities and our emergency services will be at full stretch trying to keep major routes open and attend to the most pressing emergencies.

"If you are able to, it would be an ideal time to check on elderly or vulnerable neighbours, make sure they have heat and that their pre-payment meters are topped up.

"If you are in an area where the footpaths are still affected by snow and ice, you may be able to help clear paths.

" It is also very important to recognise the hard work being put in by local council workers and the many others in the emergency services and in public transport organisations who will be doing their best to keep West Scotland moving during the winter."
