Aberdeen South & North Kincardine Liberal Democrats <info@aberdeensouthlibdems.org.uk>

Feb 22, 2012:
- SNP failing to deal with key issues over police centralisation
  
  "I would have thought the Scottish Government would have tried to iron some of these crucial matters before they set the date for the new force to begin operations."
- Call for clarity over Borders rail
  
  "The SNP have already wasted time and money in an abandoned procurement process before turning the project over to Network Rail."
- No need for referendum 'go slow'
  
  "Both Governments should work through the issues we don't agree on and produce a referendum that is legal, fair and decisive."
Feb 21, 2012:
- Disappointment at Ryanair decision
  
  "It is hugely disappointing that Ryanair has decided to cut five routes from Edinburgh. This is bad news for tourism, business and of course passenger choice."
- College mergers are politically motivated
  
  "the Education Secretary is hell-bent on grabbing as much control as he can over Scotland's colleges"
- Questions remain over single police force plans
  
  "Scottish Liberal Democrats have consistently argued against the creation of a single national police force. This move will be bad news for locally accountable, community policing."
Feb 20, 2012:
- Concern over rise in gastric band operations
  
  "Scotland's battle with the bulge is well known, but going under the knife for fat-busting surgery should always be a last resort."
Feb 15, 2012:
- Partnership needed to tackle unemployment
  
  "Joint action to promote the £1billion UK youth contract to create jobs and training opportunities through subsidised wages is essential."
Feb 14, 2012:
- Housing sector must be built on protecting vulnerable
  
  "Liberal Democrats are proud of our pivotal role in establishing the 2012 homelessness target. The Scottish Government must do all it can to meet this hugely important target by the end of this year."
- Useful start to referendum discussions
  
  "It is in everyone's interests that both of Scotland's governments work together to agree a referendum that is legal, fair and decisive."
