Full statement

As a passionate campaigner for our environment and Natural heritage, I am aware of the pressures placed upon our green spaces, the needs of our residents and importantly, the quality of life, that consideration for both, can offer.

Public transport is an important issue for local people, and a vital element in tackling pollution and climate change.
Both nationally and locally, the current model of transport development is broken.
We must invest public money in and valuable resources into a nationalised sustainable public transport system
Only a party with genuine social and environmental responsibility will have the vision to create and efficient, integrated and affordable transport network.

Our environment, natural heritage and communities are being systematically destroyed by current Government Policy. We witness the rapid decline in health care for both the young and the elderly, the dismantling of our NHS and community facilities. Why are these vital ingredients of our society always the target for dissolution?

Only the Green party, I believe, has the compassion, the moral integrity and the vision to construct, nurture and maintain these vital, sustainable environmental and communal resources.
