Yes Scotland holds public meetings on crofting 20/3/14
Yes Scotland are holding public meetings to discuss what they say are the benefits of independence for the crofting community.
SNP MEP, Alyn Smith, who is a member of the European Parliament’s Agriculture Committee, will be speaking with Angus MacNeil MP at Comunn Eachdraidh Nis in Cross School, Ness on Thursday evening.
On Friday, Mr Smith will be joined by MSP Alasdair Allan for a similar forum in Tarbert Comuunity Centre.
Alyn Smith MEP commented: “These events will allow everyone – regardless of political beliefs or party politics – to come along and speak to all of us regarding the European elections, September’s referendum or anything that they would like to know.
“Our crofting community has been led down time and time again by successive UK Governments.
As a result of their care-
“Scotland deserves better than being represented in the EU by those who don’t understand Scotland, don’t understand our communities and have no interest in doing so."
