Robert James Lindsay's policies
Statement to voters
Ever since I was a teenager I have been convinced that the way politicians are running the world – driving for infinte economic growth above quality of life – is not achieving happiness and is wrecking the planet.
Full statement
I am a former national newspaper journalist but for the past seven years have lived in South Suffolk with my wife and two young boys running a smallholding and a PR and media consultancy. I was Babergh District Council's first elected Green councillor 2014-2015 and this May I was elected as the first Green county councillor in south Suffolk.
South Suffolk needs someone to defend our market towns and villages from the wave of suburban over-development that is about to wash over them thanks to a supine local authority and the most aggressive pro-developer legislation the country has ever seen.
If elected I would put bus and train investment before new road building; independent businesses, the local economy and local communities before multi-nationals, and properly insulated, affordable homes above developer profits.
