I am Alison Firth, a proud and active member of our wonderful Kenilworth community.

Full statement

I was a Brownie and a Guide here, went to school here, I relish our food and arts festivals, and I have panted and puffed in the Two Castles runs and half marathon. I have had my own business here as a driving instructor for the last ten years teaching generations of our fabulous young adults how to drive. Since May this year I have been honoured to serve Kenilworth as a Green Party Town Councillor.
The climate and environmental emergency rages from the Amazon to the Arctic. The science is clear – the next ten years are probably the most important in our history. I’m part of the Town’s Climate Emergency and as a Community Leader for Plastic Free Kenilworth I’ve drawn attention to single use plastic pollution and how we can reduce it.

Nationally, our plan for a Green New Deal will transform the UK and improve the quality of everyone’s lives by creating a safer, fairer future for all. We are the only party you can trust to act in time to tackle the Climate Emergency in a way that also tackles pressing social problems. We want a final say on Brexit. We have implored our Government to halt the environmental vandalism that is HS2.

Our democracy is under threat and as your MP I would listen carefully to my constituents and engage my energy, passion and good humour as together we seek solutions to the challenges ahead. And a Green Vote is not a wasted vote. In Kenilworth Park Hill, we won 11 seats on the Town and District Councils and 22% of the vote across Warwick District.
Most of us want to leave a thriving community and sustainable planet for our future generations. This is what I offer, this is what the Green Party offers. If ever there was a time to vote Green, IT’S NOW.
