Scottish Election - Hillwalking Issues

The Ramblers Association have launched a campaign ahead of elections to the Scottish Parliament on May3rd.

They've published a Manifesto which they will lobby the politicians about. The key issues identified are energy, National Parks and access.

Quite separately there are opportunities to quiz the politicians at a couple of major events in April which are part of the Scottish Votepods project. There is a big environmental event at the Hub in Edinburgh on April 17th which several of the Party leaders have agreed to take part. If you can't be there you can submit questions to Scottish Votepods for inclusion on the night.

They also have a debate planned for Aviemore on April 20th. The Big Cairngorm Debate will provide a great opportunity to quiz the politicians directly on outdoor subjects. I'll update on this when full details are known.
