I am proud to be the Green Party candidate for Washington North.

Full statement

If elected, I would campaign for investment in a comprehensive home insulation programme. This would cut bills and carbon emissions while creating good quality jobs. We’re building too many of the wrong sorts of housing in the wrong places. I would push for sustainable, affordable housing that meets the needs of residents, particularly the elderly, without destroying our green spaces. I believe more food should be grown locally. We shouldn’t be dependent on imports. I would support community and market gardens and the allocation of more space for allotments. We need efficient, accessible and sustainable transport links to support economic regeneration. A Metro link to Washington is long overdue and I would campaign to make this happen. For greener spaces, sustainable approaches and a commitment to accountability, vote Green.
