Page 3: Katy is quoted as saying "We need real reform of the financial sector and the banks." No information as to whether or not she thinks the Government had done enough on this issue by the time the newsletter went to press (dated Spring 2010).
Katy also says public sector jobs should not be cut, more people are needing public services and these services need to be properly resourced. She says she is campaigning to stop cuts and defend local services. She says she is "fighting for more investment in Ayrshire." More funding for road network and to attract jobs.
