Oliver Mundell champions the Muckle Toon in a Motion to debate in Holyrood on April 16
Oliver Mundell MSP is putting a Motion to a debate in the Scottish Parliament on the 16th April. Oliver is hoping to put ‘Langholm on the Map’. It’s good to see a politician champion the Muckle Toon and all the effort that goes on here, both voluntary and otherwise to support culture, heritage, business and tourism. One specific High Street business gets a mention as does your own Eskdale & Liddesdale Advertiser.
The motion is as follows
- That the Parliament recognises what it sees as the outstanding efforts of local campaigners in the Muckle Toon
- to ensure that Langholm is not forgotten when it comes to vital road signage on the trunk road and motorway network;
- celebrates what it considers the passion and dedication of many local individuals and organisations who work tirelessly to raise the profile of Langholm;
- understands that it has an extremely proud history and many claims to fame, including its Common Riding, textile heritage, links to Neil Armstrong, the Border Reivers, natural capital, including incredible scenery, walks and wildlife, and what it sees as a number of outstanding local businesses, such as Latimer’s of Langholm, as well as being home to the Eskdale & Liddesdale Advertiser and so much more;
