Episode #94 with Holly Bruce
Manage episode 376793010 series 2904072
On today's episode I chat with the Scottish Green Party Councillor Holly Bruce. We look at why she sees herself as an activist first, and why she got into politics from a career in law. Holly discusses her role as an councillor within the community; her role in passing a motion at Glasgow City Council, making Glasgow 'UK's first feminist city' making women integral to “all aspects of planning, public realm design, policy development and budgets”. We also have a dialogue about sustainability, Indyref2, the impact of Brexit, the effects of budget cuts to the community, Holyrood and Westminster.
Holly also talks about her Scottish heritage; how she manages her mental health; whom she would invite out for Karaoke, and of course, she shares the quote that continually inspires her.
Holly Bruce is the Scottish Green Party Councillor for Langside Ward, Glasgow.
