I chose to become a Green Party councillor as I want to improve people’s environment. That means improving the housing we all live in, improving the air quality we all breathe, the food that we all eat, the wages we all get paid for our work, the education system that prepares us for life and sea water quality that we can all enjoy. In areas like Hastings, it also means providing regular, reliable and affordable public transport so nobody is isolated and our shops and businesses can connect with residents and benefit from that enhanced footfall. In short, I believe in a fair deal for all of our community. The Green Party have practical and deliverable policies to make life better, and I am inspired by what’s happening in neighbouring Lewes, where there is massive action by the Council create environmentally friendly properties that help the planet whilst also reducing everyday costs for the residents living in them. This comes through retrofitting older property and building attractive, decent and cheap-to-run new homes. Good, affordable, energy- efficient housing should not be a luxury but rather, a standard for all. It is something that I will be actively campaigning for as long as I have this platform as a councillor.
