I’M DELIGHTED to be standing as your Scottish Conservative and Unionist candidate.

I have lived in this area my entire life so I understand the issues that matter to all of us living here.

As a local resident, I very much value what a special place this is to live but have also identified some of the things that need to improve to make it even better.

Marie-Clair Munro biography - I am a local resident and a Scottish Conservative and Unionist councillor for Morningside ward. I was elected in 2022 and succeeded Councillor Nick Cook, who was standing down. I attended St Thomas of Aquin’s High School and have lived with my son in Morningside for more than 15 years.
