North Lanarkshire’s SNP group have launched their manifesto for May’s council elections, saying it demonstrates their “scale of ambition” for the area and that they are “an administration in waiting”.
It includes reintroducing a free special uplift for householders and maintaining free call-outs to deal with rodent sightings, plus free swimming for all Primary Five pupils and a review of the council’s housing allocation policy.
Further commitments include accelerating the area’s home building programme, ensuring accessible local libraries for each community, investigating the provision of free school uniforms and a neighbourhood model for spending and community decisions.
