Laura Moodie's policies

Statement to voters

Laura lives in Borgue, near Kirkcudbright, with her 4 children, husband and several chickens.

Full statement

She works as the co-ordinator of the Midsteeple Quarter; a project that will see the local community in Dumfries take back control of a group of underused and neglected High Street buildings and refurbish them to create a living, working, and enterprising heart of the town. Born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, Laura chose to make Scotland her home after coming to study history at Edinburgh University. She has also worked in technical publishing and broadcasting as a television subtitler. Laura was a founding trustee of Massive Outpouring of Love, which supports displaced people and refugees, and is also a trustee of Kirkcudbright Skatepark and Borgue Public Hall. 

Laura has earned a reputation as a formidable campaigner and hard-working community organiser. She led successful campaigns to halt cuts to rural bus services, end peat extraction and pushed the local Council to adopt one of the most ambitious climate emergency declarations in the country. Laura will campaign for investment in the South of Scotland that has the potential to transform people's lives; like re-opening the Dumfries-Stranraer line, warmer homes to reduce fuel poverty and new jobs that make the most of the area's renewable energy potential through the Green New Deal.
