This is the sixth time that voters have gone to the polls since the last council elections. So much has changed, but the need for local champions standing up for their communities has never been greater.

Labour councillors are now the last thing standing between communities and Tory and SNP cuts.

More Tories in our town halls just means more cuts to our schools and local services. SNP councillors will be entirely focused on an unwanted and divisive second independence referendum.

Only a vote for Labour rejects the extreme nationalism that Scotland is caught between. Only Labour has a plan to take Scotland forward by investing in our future.
