I'm Andrew and I have lived in Eton Wick for 27 years.

Full statement

I'm self-employed in web technologies, running an online events ticketing and registration service. I'm a keen mountain and trail runner, often taking myself off on multi-day adventures across the UK with just a backpack.

I am no career politician but have been active in campaigning to protect our environment for decades.

It is my concern about the situation past governments have done so little to address that has led me to stand for this election. A concern shared by over 80% of us. We already have solutions to address the situation but only the Green Party is prepared to deploy them at scale.

My priorities are:

Implementing the Green New Deal – a 10-point plan with measures to cut carbon emissions, restore nature, exploit our rich resources in renewables and insulate our homes

To see water back in public hands and an end to the pollution of our rivers and streams

For public transport to be a viable and reliable alternative

To see all new homes built with heat pumps and solar as standard and an effective programme to retrofit existing houses

To protect our green spaces – our town's golf course for example - from redevelopment

With average rents in Maidenhead now over £2,000 for a two-bed, measures to protect renters from exploitation
