After taking evidence from @ADLbus on its consultation to cease operations in Scotland, we're concerned significant Scottish public funds could be used to support manufacturing outwith Scotland. We've written to Scottish Enterprise for more information 👇 ow.ly/meWw50WmpCX

Last week we asked witnesses who should be ‘round the table’ for #CommunityWealthBuilding to work in practice. Matt Pearce from the Board of Development Trusts Association Scotland said that community organisations mattered as much as anchor institutions. ow.ly/cAYm50WfvON

It was great to be in Irvine this week to hear from @North_Ayrshire and partners how #CommunityWealthBuilding is being delivered. On the new Bill, we heard that for it to succeed it must deliver the tools & resources that local areas need. 🔊 Convener @colinsmythmsp says more.
