MSP Clare Adamson is urging constituents in Motherwell and Wishaw to play their part in planning for future services by completing the Scottish census.
The census is the official count of every person and household in the country.
It takes place every 10 years and the information is collected to plan for public service provision.
Speaking ahead of the May 1st deadline, the SNP MSP told Lanarkshire Live : “The census is an essential component of our public services because it is that information which helps Government, local authorities and other vital service providers in education, healthcare, and employment plan for the future.
“Please set aside a few minutes to complete the census and help shape community services in Motherwell and Wishaw.
“Filling in the census is a legal requirement but completing it is for the benefit of everyone in our area.”
Householders are responsible for making sure they respond.
For anyone who has yet to complete the census, help and support is available on at census.gov.scot or via a free helpline on 0800 030 8308.
