A Lanarkshire council should look to take control of the region's bus services, an MSP has claimed.
Clare Haughey, who represents Rutherglen, has called for South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) to take advantage of recent changes to the Transport (Scotland) Act, which will enable local authorities to extra power to run bus services as they see fit.
Ms Haughey has now written to SLC leader Joe Fagan to ask what the regional body intend to do, while the subject was also discussed at the council's executive meeting this week.
