As a Lochaber resident, I want to make sure Council decisions and funding truly reflect the voices and needs of our community.

Full statement

I will listen closely to local residents, community groups, charities and businesses, and work with them to help Lochaber grow in a fair and sustainable way.

I am standing for the Scottish Greens because I believe in their commitment to building a fairer, greener Scotland - one that delivers for people and nature, not for the powerful. I am standing for Fort William and Ardnamurchan because our communities deserve a voice that puts people before politics. My focus will be on listening to what the people of Fort William and Ardnamurchan really want, and working towards that goal together as a community. The Scottish Greens offer a hopeful and practical vision for a better tomorrow, tackling the climate and nature crises through a people centred Just Transition and delivering meaningful change for communities.

Guided by the Greens Highlands manifesto, I will work to build inclusive, resilient communities and create local jobs, provide affordable warm homes for local people, support sustainable tourism that benefits Highland communities, improve active travel and public transport, and secure better access to health services.

I look forward to working with Green Councillors Kate Willis, Chris Ballance, and Ryan MacIntosh, who are already delivering real change in Highland Council.

Together, we can build a fairer and greener Lochaber by putting people before politics.
