 LPP are reaching out to all candidates to ask them to pledge their support and get their backing for the key asks in the manifesto. 

 LPP chair, Nancy Barr, said: “The manifesto has been created based on what people in Larkhall have told us matters to them in our surveys, at community council meetings, and conversations with folk every day. It’s an important part of our mission to highlight the voices of Larkhall residents. 

 “The response from the candidates will mean we can hold them accountable for the next five years as our elected Councillors make crucial decisions which impact all of us. 

 “There are many challenges and opportunities over the next five years and we want to make sure Larkhall receives the right amount of investment in our services and amenities for our growing town.

 “We look forward to hearing from all the candidates as part of a Q&A with each one and we will share their responses on our website so residents can see what each candidate is offering our town.”
