Green policies for Wards in Liverpool

Liverpool, a city of 450,000 people, has 30 wards, and 90 councillors.

At present, two of those councillors belong to the Green Party: John Coyne and Sarah Jennings, both in St. Michaels Ward. At the next elections our candidate for the third council seat in St. Michaels will be Tom Crone.

At the neighbouring ward of Greenbank we will also be targeting election activity. Our Green Party candidate there will be Peter Cranie.

Ever since the local elections in May 2008 every ward has had a Green Party candidate in the local elections. We shall continue to contest council seats in every ward.

Why should you want a Green councillor for your Ward?

The Green Party not only stands for Green Politics, reducing carbon emissions and fighting climate change, or preserving biodiversity. The Green Party wants a fairer society for everybody, on a national, but also on a local level.

For Liverpool we want:
- cleaner roads where cyclists, pedestrians and motorists alike can feel safe and welcome.
- improvement of existing public transport, rather than spending millions on a tramway whose benefits are at present doubtful
- a housing policy that aims at preserving and improving existing buildings, rather than ruthless demolition
- preservation and opening up of green space for the benefit of local residents.
- an economic policy that does not try to compete with prosperous cities elsewhere, but looks at what Liverpool has to offer, and what it needs.

All these policies affect your area directly.
