Green Party Canditate for the coming election

The local Green Party voted last night to have me as the general election candidate for Clacton.  This is something I wanted as I am committed to airing issues which effect all of us such as
  • energy policy; creating jobs by boosting energy saving and micro generation in homes and businesses;
  • coastal defense (we are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise here in Tendring) 
  • Improving public transport -  which will boost the tourist industry here.
  • Taking Climate change and future fossil fuel shortages seriously
  • Improving infrastructure in deprived communities in Tendring
  • Expanding waste recycling to cover commercial waste (most waste is commercial waste!)
All that remains now is to start fund raising for my deposit!

  2. You are bound to have realistic solutions that will need to (sadly) be made pallatable to the masses.

    I have thoughts....
