Some of these #leeds ward logos are beautiful. But at least one of them has something of the Agent Sitwell about them. #pudsey #hydra https://westleedsdispatch.com/west-leeds-wards-to-be-celebrated-in-leeds-2023-exhibition/

Check out my statements (alongside my competitors') at https://westleedsdispatch.com/leeds-election-candidate-profiles-2023-pudsey-ward/ or my similar statement (alongside my fellow #GreenParty candidates) at https://candoleeds.greenparty.org.uk/candidates/. It's also below :-) Don't forget to take photo ID with you to vote and thanks for looking me up!

I’ve been an active member of the Leeds community for the last fifteen years. I’ve chaired the St Luke’s Tenants and Residents Association, lobbying the council and organising community gardening, kids’ fundays, and litterpicks. I’ve volunteered to support disadvantaged children and I’m a school governor. I’d be honoured to take this work to the next level as a councillor.

Let’s be honest: the Green Party isn’t a big player in Pudsey politics (yet!). Last year the Tories got 55% of the vote, Labour had 37%, and we came third with 5%.

So why should you vote Green now? Put simply: to encourage us, and to show the ‘big two’ what their policies ought to be.

It’s crazy that key bus services in Pudsey have been at risk over the last year, when we all know that what Leeds needs is more, and better, public transport. This situation is largely caused by the Conservative national government imposing privatised buses on us and preventing Leeds enacting the policies we know we need for the city to flourish—part of their wider economic mismanagement. We can’t expect the Conservatives to do any better running Leeds City Council than they do running the UK.

But the Labour-led city council has also long missed opportunities, like promoting home-insulation that we always knew we needed – and now the energy crisis has hit and we’re hardly off the starting grid.

Leeds Green Party is starting to make waves in elsewhere in the city, and beginning to offer a powerful third option for Leeds voters seeking a sustainable alternative to business as usual. A vote for the Greens would be a vote to show that you care about living in a less polluted, more liveable city, with more control over our own future.

Today we are at Recon at Pudsey Civic Hall, hope to see you here

Please consider signing this petition to keep the area of #woodland space between the #Pudsey train station and Owlcotes. It's a little haven of #wildlife and helps block the noise and #pollution from the bypass.
