Falkirk East MSP Michelle Thomson has pledged to open an office in her constituency soon - nearly two years after she was elected. Ms Thomson was elected in May 2021 and has been criticised for the delay in opening an office for face to face appointments.
But the SNP MSP says that she has always been available to meet constituents whenever that is required. And she says her office is now open for her staff, but finding tradespeople needed to add "multiple security requirements" to open it to the public has been a challenge.
She said: "Since being elected I have dealt with over 1700 enquiries from my constituents and signposted countless others to resources that may help such as their MP, councillors or third party organisations and support groups.
