Hi, I’m Zoya, I'm an MSYP for Paisley. The three issues I want to focus on are:

  • Better mental health facilities in school as I feel pupils are scared to talk to someone as they don’t know where to go, or the facility is backlogged so they have no one to talk to
  • Better bus services in quiet areas as it impacts the elderly whose only transportation is buses as well as children as it may be the only option and could be unsafe to walk
  • Better facilities for young people in communities as no young person should feel like they have nowhere to go or no one to talk to when they’re struggling
