We need to ensure that our elected representatives know that their constituents care and are deeply concerned about this issue. Please tell them! You can write at the email addresses below, call them or go and see them at one of their surgeries.
- Members of the Scottish Parliament: We have several MSPs across Dumfries and Galloway. There are two constituency MSPs, Elaine Murray for Dumfriesshire and Alex Fergusson for Galloway and West Dumfries (your constituency MSP depends on where you live – you can check here).
