Following the Selection Meeting, Violet said:
“I am honoured to have been selected as the Scottish Labour Candidate for the Bannockburn and Eastern Villages by-election as I was born, married and now live in the Ward. I am standing because I want to represent people across the area, in Plean, Cowie, Fallin, Throsk and Bannockburn and I will be taking this message to residents over the next few weeks.”
