The Dumbarton & Vale of
Leven
Branch of the SSP has selected
branch organiser Les Robertson as
the candidate for the by-election in
ward 16 on the 17 March 2005.
Les said: “I am delighted to be
selected as the SSP candidate. I
have had the privilege of working in
the ward for over 15 years. Jim
Bollan
has shown how effective an SSP
Councillor can be and I hope the
people of West
Dumbarton give me the opportunity to
join him.”
“The level of poor health and
poverty people suffer in West
Dunbartonshire is the second highest
in Scotland. New Labour’s answer is to close
schools, cut services and reduce the
Vale of Leven
Hospital to nothing more than a
cottage hospital.
“This is totally unacceptable.”
“The SSP campaign will focus on the
alternatives to New Labour by
highlighting policies such as free
school meals, scrapping the Council
Tax and opposition to school
closures and the privatisation of
council services.”
