Lindsay Roy today launched his Action Plan for Fife , setting the agenda for the Glenrothes by-election.
 
Mr Roy, a headteacher, launched the Action Plan on a giant blackboard in front of dozens of supporters and well-wishers.
 
Lindsay Roy said:
 
“My Action Plan for Fife will help people here with their own lives.
 
“I live in Glenrothes and my family grew up here.
 
“My priorities are to help Fifers through these economic times, bring down household bills and help families and older people.
 
“We need to crack down on anti-social behaviour, but at the same time find things for kids and young people to do. As a headteacher, I know it’s two sides of the same coin.
 
”I’m not a career politician, but I know what we need to do to sort things out here.
 
He then visited a tea dance in the CISWO club where is spoke to over 120 pensioners about their concerns and issues. He said:
 
“Pensioners here are very angry about the cuts in services and new charges imposed on them. This is a very big issue on the doorsteps.”
