Today I led a Member's Debate on protecting the greenbelt around Calderbank and Carnbroe.
I would like to thank my fellow MSPs from across the political divide who supported my motion and also those members who spoke with such passion on the need to safeguard the historic woodland at Woodhall and Faskine from development.
I would also like to thank the members of the Save Woodhall and Faskine (SWAF) campaign group and other members of the public from across Lanarkshire that took the time to make their way through to Holyrood to watch the debate.
It is for them and other local communities across the country we will continue to fight in order to protect the greenbelt and all the benefits it brings to the community it serves.

It is up to this generation to protect the greenbelt for the next to enjoy.
