Calum Kerr MSP: Helping shape the future of local government reform (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LOCAL government reform is not always the subject that gets people talking. But the proposals published by the Scottish Government last week could change where some of the decisions affecting our communities are made, so we need to engage seriously with them. The starting proposal is to replace Scotland's 32 councils with between six and 10 larger regional authorities, alongside 120 to 160 community authorities covering recognisable towns and areas. Some services need enough scale to be run effi
Calum Kerr MSP: Backing Borders business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ONE of the pleasures of being your MSP is the companies I get to meet, and to support. Over the summer recess I visited Scottish Building Society in Galashiels and met chief executive Paul Denton at its local relationship centre.

Calum Kerr MSP: Ministers and parliamentarians descend on Borders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PARLIAMENT is back this week, with the programme for government a key moment for us to kick on, focused on delivering our manifesto that won us May's election.

A day like that takes a lot of work from a lot of volunteers, and congratulations to everyone who puts it together. The SNP stall was busy from early on, with plenty of people stopping by for a chat. Health was a key focus of my meetings last week. On Monday I visited the ambulance station in Peebles and met the regional leaders for the East of Scotland and the Borders, along
Calum Kerr MSP: The £342 million Borders Railway overhaul (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LAST week, I joined Network Rail to see the electrification work on the Borders Railway up close.  The masts that will carry the overhead wires are going up between Bowshank Tunnel and Tweedbank, and after months of planning and foundation work they are the first part of it you can actually see. This is part of a £342 million Scottish Government investment to electrify routes in the Borders and Fife and bring in new battery electric trains.  When the line was rebuilt in 2015 it was designed
