Full @scottishcare statement on the UK #Immigration Policy & Impact on #Scotland Report @BenMacpherson #Brexit https://scottishcare.org/uk-immigration-policy-impact-on-scotland-report-july-update/
@scotgov continues to support our project. @BenMacpherson: "I am pleased to support the important work @CitzRights are doing to engage with EU citizens, especially those who may need additional help in securing their status and understanding their rights"▶️https://bit.ly/3f4QuXy
Over recent months I have been very concerned about the high number of incidences of odour complaints about the Seafield Waste Water Treatment Works. My office and I have taken all complaints up with Scottish Water and, through Scottish Water, with the operator Veolia. I have also written to the Cabinet Secretary for the Environment - please read her response on my website: benmacpherson.scot/2020/06/29/recent-seafield-odours/.
As Chair of the local stakeholder group, I have called a meeting ASAP for community representatives and elected members to impress our concerns. I will continue to engage with Scottish Water, the Council, SEPA and community representatives, as well as the Scottish Government, to seek answers and solutions. As this video from earlier in the year expresses, and the letter from the Cabinet Secretary emphasises, there is investment coming soon, which should improve matters and reduce odour problems. This will be the biggest investment in Seafield for many years, and I'm grateful to local campaigners for working with me to help secure it. However, until this investment is delivered, we must, and will, continue to push for operational improvements to mitigate odour, and I am absolutely committed to continuing to do that as Leith's local MSP.
Scottish Water have published this newsletter to update local residents, which I'd also encourage people to look at: www.scottishwater.co.uk/seafieldnewsletter.
Please also continue to register any complaints via Leith Links Community Council's reporting service, as this does make a difference and helps to emphasise the need for action and investment: www.leithlinkscc.org.uk/seafieldnuisancereportform/.
Lastly, I am also mindful that those who work at Seafield do an important job in difficult circumstances. I am very grateful to employees at Seafield for their commitment, particularly as key workers in these challenging times.
If you have concerns or questions about Seafield please email me at ben.macpherson.msp@parliament.scot.
Well done Ben⭐️
If you’re visiting shops please #staysafe & maintain physical distancing, follow hygiene advice, respect staff who may be asking you to shop differently & wear a face covering. We’ve made so much progress against the virus - let’s all keep doing our bit to look out for each other.❤️
(P.s. for those interested I got this Janey Godley's FanPage inspired face covering locally from Craftchatterbox.com/: www.craftchatterbox.com/contact.html.)
Brilliant mask! I want one of these 😆
Love it! :-DDD...Nice to see you supporting local arts.
Not even a mask can disguise that smile. Keep up the good work!!!!
Brilliant 👍
Loving your face covering 😊
Love the mask Ben
Love the mask x
Love the mask , you a Godley fan too ? Lol 😂 x
Love it 💙🏴💙
Brilliant 👍
Scotland and Nicola are doing well, but I’m so worried, my son works in a restaurant well known in Edinburg on kitchen and they are not allowed to use face masks or face covers... is this legal?
Love it, Ben!
Class 🙏
Can you also clarify who frank is?
I understand that a shop workers protection bill is in progress through Holyrood - being put forward by Daniel Johnstone MSP and USDAW however progress has been slowed due to Covid . A similar bill was put forward in 2011 but not fully supported. Surely this time shop workers can be given some form of protection similar to others providing a front line service and no further delay is incurred
Me to I want one
Janey Godley's FanPage are you doing masks now? 😍

Where can I get one

great news 🏴🏴🏴
After campaigning on several animal welfare issues over recent years, I very much welcome that The Scottish Parliament has supported increased penalties for the worst types of animal cruelty and ‘Finn’s law’, which gives new legal protections for service animals such as police dogs and horses.
The Scottish Government's Animals and Wildlife Bill will increase the maximum penalty for the most serious animal and wildlife crimes to five years imprisonment and an unlimited fine, after passing its final stage in Parliament.
And Finn’s law removes a legal defence of self-defence for attacks on service animals in the course of their duties.
Animal welfare enforcement agencies will also be given innovative new powers, allowing animals taken into their care to be quickly re-homed without the need for a court order.
The legislation also includes mountain hares being given protected status, which I was glad to see and I know many constituents who have contacted me about this will be too.
Thank you Mairi Gougeon MSP.
More information here: news.gov.scot/news/enhanced-protection-for-animals-and-wildlife.
Hi Ben Is there not added protection for seals against fish farmers?
🍎 Over 175,000 children in Scotland will benefit from free school meals during the summer holidays.
Our FM & all the SNP have huge hearts x
It’s a disgrace that this number of children still need this support - Holyrood have the powers to mitigate this if they really want to - child and inwork poverty is a scourge on any country added to by high rents and not enough social housing for those who need it. It’s the community and voluntary agencies who have been supporting the poorest during this crisis and that needs to change . Food banks are a humiliation that should only be for emergency use not ongoing under an administration that claims to care
In normal circumstances, like in these pictures from recent years, I’d be on the streets with Stand up to Racism - Scotland & others, in solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement. But we must also stay safe from Covid-19 - therefore, as an alternative, please see this article for suggested ways to show solidarity without attending outdoor protests: www.sundaypost.com/fp/black-lives-matter-scotland/.
Please also see this: www.gov.scot/news/protesting-against-racism/.
Also, thank you to every constituent who has emailed me about the #BlackLivesMatter movement. I am in solidarity with you and you will receive a response in the coming days.
Please, Ben Macpherson MSP, use your influence to get your constituents to Stay Home at THIS point in time. CV19 hits the BAME sector much, MUCH harder in the mortality rates. That's science speaking, the science so admirably used by the FM to keep ALL Scotland's lives safer. If black lives truly matter then people staying HOME could be the best foot forward today for that part of the whole Scottish community's protection.....
Everything helps...and who knows? Perhaps tomorrow’s protest will be well attended by those who continue to socially distance, and wear masks. Stranger things have happened.
Why did the SNP vote against the amendments to the coronavirus bill that were proposed by Andy Wightman? www.scottishhousingnews.com/article/second-coronavirus-bill-must-not-be-end-of-help-for-renters
Ben Macpherson MSP, What about the death of Sheku Bayoh? That happened here in Scotland. Are the Police Service of Scotland allowed to kill people without proper investigation or trial? Is that the kind of nation we've become? www.scottishleftreview.scot/death-in-police-custody-the-case-of-sheku-bayoh/
Small grants from The University of Edinburgh available to community groups and charities that are responding to Covid-19.As part of our response to Covid-19 , the University will distribute additional funding to help support community groups and small charities with their response to the virus.

Jenny Cornfield not looked at the detail, but perhaps for Soul Food? X
The SNP Government’s school age payment offers low income families, or those who receive support like Universal Credit, a £250 payment around the time children start at primary school. In these unprecedented and difficult times, I’d encourage families across Edinburgh Northern and Leith to check what financial support you may be entitled to. Visit www.mygov.scot or call 0800 182 2222 to find out more or apply.
On the ball as usual!!! Greetings from Andalucia! Keep up the good work !!
Surely this should read The Scottish Government - not SNP government as all decisions are voted on by the whole of the devolved parliament ?
Volunteers’ Week gives us all a chance to celebrate the contributions of volunteers who, individually and together, make such an important difference. Particularly in recent months, when many people in Edinburgh Northern and Leith have taken on new volunteering roles to help deal with the many consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. Now more than ever, I want to say a big thank you all volunteers and especially those of you who continue to help the NHS and our local communities during this challenging time.⭐ Happy #VolunteersWeekScot! ⭐
We want to thank all volunteers, past, present and future for their outstanding support and all that they do. THANK YOU from all at Volunteer Scotland. www.volunteersweek.scot/get-involved/

21/05— First Minister Nicola Sturgeon unveiled the framework for a phased approach when moving out of lockdown. This publication outlines how we can begin to return to some form of normality, as long as Covid-19 continues to remain suppressed: www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-framework-decision-making-scotlands-route-map-thro....
21/05— Schools to potentially re-open from the 11 August. The Deputy First Minister, John Swinney MSP, stated that, subject to public health and safety guidance, teachers and school staff could return to schools in June to make preparations for students who will return to a new blended model of education: www.gov.scot/news/schools-to-re-open-in-august/.

#StayHomeSavesLives
Extra financial support will be given to social care workers in Scotland during the Coronavirus emergency, the Health Secretary Jeane Freeman MSP has announced.
The Scottish Government has stepped in to provide additional funding to ensure all social care workers receive enhanced sick pay where they have received a positive COVID-19 test.

Plans for death in service cover and enhancements to statutory sick pay.Hope there going to get a lump sum at the end of this as I dont think it's far I'm sitting at home on full pay and my wife is still working the same. Think the front line workers should get some kind good will jester
Good stuff.
The contribution of people who have made Scotland their home has for some time been really important to our communities and our economy - and the Covid-19 crisis has emphasised that in a stark way. In the NHS, people who have made Scotland their home have made a massive contribution, as they do in the care sector. Together, #WeAreScotland 🏴🌍

NHS would have struggled without 'massive' contribution of migrant workers
www.dailyrecord.co.uk
The SNP's migration minister wants the Tories to halt their plans to block so-called "low-skilled" workers from being able to make Scotland their home.My letter to the Home Secretary: www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-future-borders-and-immigration-system-letter/.
Thank you for your decency and using common sense when praising the fact, that migrants are a big part of NHS and UK society in general. I hate UK class system so much, as a Polish person I never experienced in my life before moving to the UK that some people worth more or less just because they are upper, middle, working, not working, lower class or other crap. And it's so painful to watch all of the disrespect toward life risking NHS superheroes. And they treated like crap byt the UK GOV, just because they are not posh British with posh accents.

The routemap gives practical examples of what people, organisations and businesses can expect to see change over time.
If the evidence shows transmission of COVID-19 is under control and the number of infectious cases continue to decline the Scottish Government will consider moving to Phase 1 of the route map following the next end-of-cycle review date on 28 May.
The NHS Scotland test, trace, isolate and support system – known as Test and Protect - will be ready for expansion in all 14 health boards from 28 May.
A plan agreed between councils, professional associations and parent representatives to partially reopen schools from 11 August, subject to scientific advice that it is safe to do so, has also been published today.

This week marked 4 years since I was elected as your local MSP, in the early hours of Friday 6 May 2016.
Over those years, I’ve been incredibly proud to serve all of the people of Edinburgh Northern and Leith, and so many remarkable organisations and vibrant communities.

And I will continue to play my part in delivering policies that build a fairer, better, kinder Scotland, particularly at this challenging time.
Best wishes,
Ben
