North Lanarkshire

Hot on the heels of the post about how to lobby MPs and MSPs - comes a timely e-mail from one of our readers in North Lanarkshire.

The reader's e-mail to Frank Roy MP gets top marks for being direct and to the point - here's the issue, what do you think of it and what are you going to do to help me - as one of your constituents?

The only rules are - be polite and ask sensible questions - your MP or MSP is there to advise and help.

"Dear Frank,

Equal Pay Claim for Home Support Workers

GN here home support worker with North Lanarkshire Council.

As you are probably aware we have been pursuing an equal pay claim against North Lanarkshire Council for the past five years - yes five years!

What is your view on this?

Are you as my MP doing anything to bring an end to this ridiculous amount of time and money the council is using to try and block our legitimate claim?

I look forward to hearing from you in the not too distant future.

Yours sincerely

GN"

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
