Graham Simpson is challenging the Scottish Government to take immediate action to prevent the long-standing decline of our town centres.
The Tory MSP for Central Scotland said the timing of the report was particularly pertinent following the recent news that the owner of East Kilbride’s shopping centre had gone into administration.
Mr Simpson's call follows the publication of a report by the Scottish Parliament’s economy and fair work committee, of which he is a member, which concluded that every town in Scotland should have their own Town Plan.
