My name is Guy Ingerson, originally from Moray, I have lived in Aberdeen for over 20 years.

Full statement

For nearly 10 years I worked in the fossil fuel industry, specifically in procurement and material logistics. After the oil price crash I looked to move and now I’m a full-time student, working part-time in retail to pay the bills. Aberdeen is home and I have campaigned or volunteered for numerous local causes. Assisting in the fight against the £150 million incinerator in Torry, leading the charge for better bus services and pushing for more high quality social housing. I’ve also volunteered for Grampian Pride, as a member of the LGBT+ community, it was fantastic to see so many celebrating our region’s diversity.

Aberdeen and the North East are the frontline of the climate emergency. We’ve seen the price of our dependency on fossil fuels; job loses, rising homelessness and food banks. Environmental justice is social justice. Our Green New Deal will tackle these injustices and will be one of the two main strands of my campaign.

The other will be the Drugs Crisis, we cannot afford to lose more lives. If elected, I will push for the full devolution of drug legislation.
