It's all too easy to take council services for granted.

0:00:030:00:07

But when you stop to think about it,

0:00:070:00:09

they actually provide many of the essentials of day-to-day life.

0:00:090:00:13

When there's a hole in the road,

0:00:160:00:17

it's the council who make sure it's fixed.

0:00:170:00:21

Then there are things like getting your bins collected.

0:00:210:00:24

And let's not forget the really important stuff,

0:00:260:00:29

like a good education for our kids.

0:00:290:00:32

It's the council's job to help keep everyone safe on the road.

0:00:340:00:38

And to keep them right on the road, too.

0:00:440:00:47

Our pensioners often need a wee hand.

0:00:470:00:50

And the council is there to lend one.

0:00:520:00:54

Everyone needs a home to live in.

0:00:540:00:57

Our councils help with everything from social housing...

0:00:570:01:00

..to housing benefits.

0:01:020:01:04

The council is here for special days too,

0:01:070:01:09

like registering everyone's marriages.

0:01:090:01:12

And births when the kids come along.

0:01:120:01:16

If you like strolling around art galleries and museums...

0:01:160:01:20

it's the council you have to thank for running them.

0:01:200:01:24

The same goes for our libraries...

0:01:240:01:27

our sports grounds and parks...

0:01:270:01:29

..and gyms and leisure centres.

0:01:330:01:35

What's more, with council evening classes,

0:01:350:01:38

you can learn absolutely everything -

0:01:380:01:40

from French to dress making.

0:01:400:01:43

Tres bien.

0:01:430:01:44

You know, you couldn't even go for a drink

0:01:440:01:46

without the council licensing board.

0:01:460:01:48

Yes, for every one of us, council services really do matter.

0:01:480:01:53

That's why the SNP is providing an extra £400 million

0:01:530:01:59

to councils this year alone,

0:01:590:02:01

and another £120 million direct to schools.

0:02:010:02:05

That's why a vote for SNP is a vote to protect the services

0:02:050:02:10

we all depend on.

0:02:100:02:12

On May 4th, you'll be voting by numbers.

0:02:120:02:15

First, mark a 1 beside your local SNP candidate.

0:02:150:02:18

If there is a second SNP candidate, vote for them, this time with a 2.

0:02:180:02:23

The more SNP councillors you elect

0:02:230:02:26

the more we can protect and improve our vital services.

0:02:260:02:31

On May 4th, be a voter.

0:02:310:02:33

Play your part and vote SNP.
