The Green Party presents a practical and positive solution to move away from the tired and divisive politics that ignores poverty and is destroying our environment.

Full statement

I want to defend our public services, whilst creating a thriving and healthy local environment for us to live in, so standing for parliament in Broxtowe on behalf of the Green Party is a privilege.
I have had a long and successful career working in construction and higher education and I can bring a wide range of experience as I enter politics. I am passionate about the environment and about tackling inequalities. I have held many and varied positions of responsibility through my life and I am proud of being able to stand up for my principles.
I moved to Eastwood from Birmingham with my 7 year old son some 40 years ago and made this area my permanent home. Coming from a huge city it was great to be able to see hills and woods and reach them within minutes from where I live. I know that many in Broxtowe are currently experiencing hardship.
I want to do what I can to ensure the next generation has access to good education, our National Health Service, housing, libraries, parks and other green spaces that I have enjoyed for most of my life. If we don’t take action I fear for the futures of our young people.
Stand with us for a bolder, brighter and better future.
