Welcome
Welcome to my new website which I hope you will find interesting.
I am the Liberal Democrat Council candidate for the Rutherglen South Ward of South Lanarkshire Council.
Here you can find all the news and information on my local election campaign for 2012.
You can also find details of my recent press releases, follow me and learn about our campaigns for Rutherglen and Cambuslang.
My aim, as it has always been, is to champion the issues which are important to Rutherglen and Cambuslang and our people, to help build community power, and to help widen opportunities for young people in particular.
We are always looking for new volunteers, so if you want to get involved and make a difference, simply click on the "Be Part of Robert's Team" link below.
I look forward to meeting you all over the coming months. 
Best wishes,
Robert Brown
