MSP Elanie Murray

On 3rd October 2005, a motion was put forward in the Scottish Parliament by MSP Elaine Murray which read:

That the Parliament congratulates the Canonbie Youth Group on receiving a Standing Up to Antisocial Behaviour award on 5 October 2005; welcomes the participation of two members of the group in the Protecting Communities: The Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act one year on conference on 3 October 2005; believes that the work of the group is an excellent example of young people empowering themselves to take a stance against anti-social behaviour by organising events for young people in the Canonbie and Langholm area; wishes the group well in its efforts to raise funds for an all-weather sports pitch for Canonbie, and applauds its involvement with Marie Curie Cancer Care in organising the planting of 26,000 daffodil bulbs to form a Roadway of Hope along the B6357 from Canonbie to Rowanburn on Saturday 8 October 2005.

The motion was supported by MSPs: Chris Ballance, Sarah Boyack, Phil Gallie, Robin Harper, Mr Kenneth Macintosh, Maureen Macmillan, Christine May, Murray Tosh, Frances Curran, Mrs Margaret Ewing, Ms Rosemary Byrne, Trish Godman, Mrs Mary Mulligan, Marilyn Livingstone
