Ms Gordon said: “I am pleased to accept the Lib Dem nomination for Strathkelvin and Bearsden. My number one priority in this campaign is about raising educational standards as well as delivering more accountability in local policing and improving performances in hospital services.”

“Many local parents have told me how difficult it is to juggle childcare with working. We need high quality, flexible wraparound care for all, not just the lucky few who can afford to pay for it or have relatives on hand.

“It’s so important to a child’s development that they get good early years education but the SNP is still dragging its feet on meeting its promise for two year olds.
