Economy & Jobs
Reform UK wants lower taxes, less red tape, and stronger support for jobs, apprenticeships, and local business growth. That matters here, where too many residents still travel elsewhere for work and local employability funding is under pressure.
Key Commitments
- Cut taxes so work, enterprise, and investment are rewarded
- Support small businesses with a simpler, more pro-growth environment
- Link apprenticeships and colleges more directly to real jobs
- Back adult re-skilling and practical routes back into work
- Speed up planning and decision-making that supports local growth
What This Means for Clackmannanshire And Dunblane
Clackmannanshire has acknowledged that there are not enough local jobs for everyone who needs one, and funding changes have raised concern about employability support. Reform's economic plan is aimed at stronger local opportunity, better pay, and more business confidence.
Housing
Reform UK wants more affordable homes, faster brownfield development, and housing rules that put local people first. That matters in Clackmannanshire and Dunblane, where supply is tight and housing costs are still rising.
Key Commitments
- Support delivery of 75,000 affordable homes across Scotland
- Prioritise brownfield and town-centre development before unnecessary sprawl
- Give councils stronger powers over vacant and neglected properties
- Back rent-to-buy options for young people, first-time buyers, and working families
- Restore local connection rules so scarce social housing serves established communities first
What This Means for Clackmannanshire And Dunblane
Local demand is high, rents have risen, and councils are still trying to expand supply through new builds and property purchases. Reform's housing approach is aimed at more homes, fairer access, and better use of land and empty properties.
Immigration
Reform UK backs controlled immigration and stronger borders, with local services and housing put first. In Clackmannanshire and Dunblane, that means protecting limited housing supply and easing pressure on public services.
Key Commitments
- Restore the local connection rule for housing in Scotland so locals are not pushed back in the queue
- Strengthen border control and remove illegal arrivals swiftly
- End free housing and taxpayer-funded incentives that encourage illegal migration
- Put local people first where housing and public services are already under pressure
What This Means for Clackmannanshire And Dunblane
Housing and local services must be planned around the needs of the people already living here. Reform's position is that controlled immigration and fair rules help protect scarce homes, school places, and healthcare capacity.
NHS & Healthcare
Reform UK wants an NHS that is free at the point of need and focused on frontline care, not layers of bureaucracy. In Clackmannanshire and Dunblane, faster GP access, care closer to home, and stronger social care matter to local families.
Key Commitments
- Cut NHS bureaucracy and redirect funding to frontline care
- Expand community and GP services so more care is delivered closer to home
- Train and retain more doctors and nurses in Scotland
- Tackle delayed discharge and strengthen adult social care support
What This Means for Clackmannanshire And Dunblane
Residents rely on NHS Forth Valley and the Clackmannanshire and Stirling HSCP for local care. Reform's approach is aimed at shorter waits, stronger community services, and less pressure on families who need support close to home.
Transport & Infrastructure
Reform UK wants better roads, more reliable public transport, and infrastructure delivered without endless delay. In this constituency that means tackling poor bus reliability, backing rail improvements, and improving everyday connectivity.
Key Commitments
- Back long-term investment in roads, rail, and practical local infrastructure
- Improve roadworks management so disruption is reduced and projects move faster
- Support stronger bus services instead of leaving communities stranded by cancellations and route changes
- Modernise rail links and back schemes that improve regional connectivity
What This Means for Clackmannanshire And Dunblane
Residents have faced bus reliability problems on key routes, changes to hospital bus links, and pressure on everyday travel between towns. Reform's transport policy is aimed at dependable services, less disruption, and better links across the constituency and beyond.
Cost of Living
Reform UK wants people to keep more of what they earn by cutting income tax and lowering energy-driven costs. That matters in Clackmannanshire and Dunblane, where commuting costs, rent rises, and stretched household budgets are hitting working families.
Key Commitments
- Cut Scottish income tax so workers keep more of every pay packet
- Cap marginal tax rates at 50 percent so extra work always pays
- Lower energy-driven household costs by scrapping policies that push bills up
- Make work pay more clearly than welfare dependency
What This Means for Clackmannanshire And Dunblane

Education & Skills
Reform UK wants high standards in schools and a skills system that leads to real jobs. In Clackmannanshire and Dunblane that means protecting strong school performance and securing practical routes through college, apprenticeships, and training.
Key Commitments
- Protect high standards in schools and give head teachers greater authority
- Restore rigorous assessment and a stronger knowledge-based curriculum
- Guarantee that apprenticeship funding is invested in real training linked to colleges
- Create clearer pathways from school into apprenticeships, further education, and work
- Support adult re-skilling so local people can move into better-paid jobs
What This Means for Clackmannanshire And Dunblane
Local schools are performing well, but the long-term future of Forth Valley College's Alloa campus remains an important concern for skills and opportunity. Reform's approach is aimed at defending standards while expanding practical routes into work and further training.
Energy Prices
Reform UK says high energy costs are hurting households and businesses and wants cheaper domestic energy, not policies that keep pushing bills up. Lower prices would help families, commuters, and local firms right across the constituency.
Key Commitments
- Scrap costly Net Zero targets, subsidies, and quangos that drive bills higher
- Back North Sea oil and gas and end the ban on new nuclear
- Fast-track practical energy infrastructure that improves supply and resilience
