Marie's latest column from Milngavie and Bearsden Herald Over the past couple of weeks, I have loved getting out and about across Milngavie and Bearsden North. As Parliament is in Recess it has given me the chance to focus on the issues that matter to the community. An issue that I know is causing concern is the proposed closure of the Royal Bank of Scotland branch in Milngavie. When I was first made aware of this, I wrote directly to RBS to express my extreme disappointmen

I recently spoke in a debate on public trust in politics. I am always up for meaningful discussion on how to restore trust in politics.
