“I’d like to extend a very warm welcome to you as an SNP member of the West Fife and Coastal Villages Branch.  You are fortunate to have elected representatives at all levels of government in your local area as well as an enthusiastic and hardworking grassroots team – all are working hard towards a fairer, more equal and prosperous Scotland.  As an SNP member, there are many opportunities to be part of our exciting movement and I hope you are able to take part in some local campaigning or attend a branch fundraiser or meeting soon.  Your support is much appreciated.”
Nicola Sturgeon, SNP Party Leader and First Minister of Scotland.

“I have been your MP for Dunfermline and West Fife since 2015 and have won the seat three times now having secured victory in 2017 and 2019.  The victory in 2019 restored my majority from just 844 to 10,699 and that was in no small part down to the efforts of the West Fife and Coastal Villages SNP branch.   On being re-elected, I have taken up the role as the SNP’s Small Business, Enterprise and Innovation spokesperson at Westminster.   The West Fife and Coastal Villages branch is a fantastic branch to be a part of as they are hard-working, but also put on great social events.   Finally, welcome to the branch, your efforts will be one big step in our journey towards independence.”

“Welcome to the West Fife and Coastal Villages branch.  As local MSP I have worked closely with the branch since being elected in 2016.   I have tackled many issues across the branch area, including the Valleyfield ash cloud, pollution incidents in Charlestown and Limekilns, and bus service changes affecting communities and making sure West Fife’s voice is heard following disruption to the road network when the Queensferry Crossing was closed.  It has always been a pleasure to engage with branch members and I am grateful for the support they provide me and my office.  I look forward to meeting you in the near future”.
