Save Bearsden Name campaign gathers pace

March 27, 2008 11:30 AM
Jo Swinson with Bearsden residents

The campaign to change the constituency name has received a huge response

Over 100 local residents have signed up to Jo Swinson's campaign to keep Bearsden in the title of the area's new Scottish Parliament constituency.

Under plans drawn up by the Boundary Commission for Scotland, a new constituency titled 'Milngavie and Bishopbriggs' has been proposed. However, Jo has formally asked the Commission to include Bearsden in the name.

Jo said:

"The local response to these proposals has been very strong. People can't see the sense in leaving Bearsden's name out of the new constituency.

"Between now and when the Boundary Commission presents its final proposals, I will be keeping the Commission updated on the rising number of residents backing the proposed change to make sure Bearsden is properly represented."

People can support the campaign by logging on at campaigns.libdems.org.uk/savebearsdenname or by telephoning Jo Swinson's office on 0141 762 2209.

    If you are a resident of the East Dunbartonshire constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
