It's all too easy to take council services for granted. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
But when you stop to think about it, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
they actually provide many of the essentials of day-to-day life. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
When there's a hole in the road, | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
it's the council who make sure it's fixed. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
Then there are things like getting your bins collected. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
And let's not forget the really important stuff, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
like a good education for our kids. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
It's the council's job to help keep everyone safe on the road. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
And to keep them right on the road, too. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Our pensioners often need a wee hand. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
And the council is there to lend one. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Everyone needs a home to live in. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Our councils help with everything from social housing... | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
..to housing benefits. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
The council is here for special days too, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
like registering everyone's marriages. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
And births when the kids come along. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
If you like strolling around art galleries and museums... | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
it's the council you have to thank for running them. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
The same goes for our libraries... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
our sports grounds and parks... | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
..and gyms and leisure centres. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
What's more, with council evening classes, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
you can learn absolutely everything - | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
from French to dress making. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Tres bien. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
You know, you couldn't even go for a drink | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
without the council licensing board. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Yes, for every one of us, council services really do matter. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
That's why the SNP is providing an extra £400 million | 0:01:53 | 0:01:59 | |
to councils this year alone, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
and another £120 million direct to schools. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
That's why a vote for SNP is a vote to protect the services | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
we all depend on. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
On May 4th, you'll be voting by numbers. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
First, mark a 1 beside your local SNP candidate. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
If there is a second SNP candidate, vote for them, this time with a 2. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
The more SNP councillors you elect | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
the more we can protect and improve our vital services. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
On May 4th, be a voter. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
