At the SNP conference, we announced…
Expanding Childcare
If re-elected, the SNP will extend childcare for every child in our country from 9 months old to the end of Primary School. And available 52 weeks a year.
More transformational change – delivered by the SNP, backed by over half a billion pounds of new investment.
We will deliver a brand-new childcare system that fits around families – rather than expecting families to fit around the system.
And because parents’ work doesn’t stop during the summer holidays – neither will the provision of childcare.
Our new approach will mean families benefit from between £1,400 up to over £11,000 dependent on need.
Every single family in Scotland will get help.
More Walk-In GP services
The SNP promised to deliver 15 new walk-in GP clinics. Now, walk-in GP clinics are appearing on high streets across the country, open 7 days a week.
These clinics fit around people’s daily routines and bypass the 8am rush, and free up more time for family GPs.
If re-elected, the SNP will deliver 30 GP walk-in clinics across the country. We will double our original pledge.
Reaching more villages, towns and communities the length and breadth of Scotland.
In Angus, Livingston, Paisley, Inverness, Glasgow, Falkirk, Ayrshire, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, East Kilbride, Tweed Valley, East Renfrewshire and Dumbarton.
That is the SNP delivering for Scotland.
Help for First Time Home Buyers
Central to a decent society, is making sure everyone has a good home. Many young people believe that owning their own home will ever be a reality for them.
Many of them are paying more on rent than they would pay on a mortgage – but they just cannot find a way to build up the deposit they need.
With bills seeming to just go up and up, there just isn’t enough left at the end of the month to save up.
It is a trap, leaving them locked out of home ownership, often well into their thirties.
But the SNP Government will step up. If re-elected we will provide up to £10,000 towards a deposit to give people the help they need to buy their first home.
A generation let down by Westminster will be helped by the SNP
Glasgow Will Flourish
The SNP will stand shoulder to shoulder with the city as it rebuilds from the fire that has shocked us all.
The First Minister said Tuesday that given the significant costs for the city, we would back those words with cash.
The remaining façade of Union Corner sadly has to come down for the safety of the public. That will cost at least £1 million pounds. That is £1 million pounds that should not come from the public services that Glaswegians rely upon.
This SNP Government will therefore underwrite the cost of clearing the site, meaning not a penny of the city’s public services budget will be lost.
And we will do more. Some businesses have been utterly devastated – others in the area are suffering real hardship.
Will will launch a £10 million recovery fund to support the Council, businesses and agencies to help rebuild and renew that vital part of the city.
We will stand by our biggest city in its hour of need. The SNP will do everything in our power to make Glasgow flourish.
