Scottish Liberal Democrats respond to Loch Lomond Highland Games cancellation

Responding to the news that the Loch Lomond Highland Games have been cancelled after the local authority had to withdraw funding to close a £17m budget shortfall, Scottish Liberal Democrat culture and sport spokesperson Neil Alexander said:

“After slashing council funding for years, the SNP have forced those like West Dunbartonshire to make tough decisions that cut deep into the heart of communities and the local economy.

“The SNP have always loved to masquerade as ambassadors of Scottish culture, but the nationalists do virtually nothing to support it when it comes to the crunch.

“Unlike the SNP, Scottish Liberal Democrats will strengthen and protect local government budgets and ensure that communities in every corner of the country can thrive.”
