Isobel McCallum

Isobel McCallum - Independent Candidate for the Black Isle Ward I have lived on the Black Isle most of my life. My three daughters attended Munlochy Primary and Fortrose Academy.

I have been privileged to represent the Black Isle on Highland Council since 2003 and I would like to continue working for you.

As an Independent candidate, I am free to make decisions that I feel best reflect the needs of our local community. As such I am not aligned with a political party. Over the last 9 years I have worked with fellow Independent councillor Billy Barclay to achieve the best for the Black Isle.

Over the last 9 years I have addressed each issue on its merits and its impact on our community. I have spoken and consulted with communities and represented their views.

To ensure the continuing vitality of our area we must keep pressing for more affordable housing and secure employment.

I will

Fight to keep all rural schools open
Lobby to secure an increased budget for roads at all levels
Remain committed to increasing affordable housing
Promote energy efficiency
Ensure that rural areas’ transport needs are met
Assist communities to develop and improve their assets
Continue to encourage the planning process to take into account local opinion
Support improved services and projects to benefit older people and our young folk
Promote local food producers

I believe my experience makes me well placed to represent you. I am genuinely interested in the issues that affect you, the people of the Black Isle.

Given the opportunity, I promise to work diligently on your behalf.
