A local update from your Liberal Democrat MP for Mid Dunbartonshire, Susan Murray. On this week's update, the budget debate continued in Westminster.
I took part in the ongoing Budget debate in Parliament, raising issues of concern in Mid Dunbartonshire, including our charities, WASPI women, and small businesses, and repeating our calls for a health and care centre.
It was a pleasure to welcome the additional capital funding for Scotland in the Budget in Parliament today. But it must now mean that our community gets our much-needed health and care centre.

Mental health is as important as physical health. As the long nights start to draw in, it's important to keep good mental health in mind.
