Scottish Liberal Democrats: 12/04/2012 Party Election Broadcasts

Over 150 Liberal Democrat councillors right across Scotland

have a solid reputation for getting things done for their area.

Whether it's creating jobs, building homes, improving the environment,

improving schools, they get results for their community.

Now, in May, you have a choice.

You have a choice about who you want to stand up for your community,

your area on the council.

In Edinburgh, Liberal Democrats are focused on creating jobs

and building a better future for our capital.

Here in Edinburgh, we've launched a project

called the Edinburgh Guarantee.

This ensures that all young people leaving school

will at least have an apprenticeship or a training course.

At times like this when it's really hard to find work,

an innovative project like this really gives people hope.

We need more of this -

more Liberal Democrat councillors securing and creating jobs

right across Scotland.

With 150,000 people in Scotland looking for a home,

and 2,000 children living in a cold or damp home, I want action.

Homelessness can affect anyone from any walk of life.

I care deeply that we help as many people made homeless as possible.

'As a Liberal Democrat, I'm proud that we have taken action

'and that Perth and Kinross are one of the first councils to meet

'the historic 2012 homelessness target.'

'We need more of this.'

We need more Liberal Democrats building homes for families like this

and families right across Scotland.

Liberal Democrats have always believed in

improving life through education.

While successfully campaigning for more funds

for our colleges and students,

we've also been making the case

for improving education in our schools.

In Aberdeenshire,

Liberal Democrats have prioritised funds for our schools.

Times are tough but investing in our children's future now

can save us money in the long term.

Liberal Democrats know the importance of education

and we continue to build new schools to give our young people

the best possible chance in life.

We need more of this.

We need more Liberal Democrats to do the best by our parents,

pupils and teachers.

If you want someone to stand up for jobs and housing, for schools

and the environment, and you want someone who will focus

on the needs of you and your community,

then the Liberal Democrats are for you.

We get results.

If you want action in your community, support the Liberal Democrats.
