Laura Catherine Rose
Green Party candidate for Droylsden West
Green Party
I am standing for Droylsden West to give people a chance to vote for something different. Having moved to the Droylsden area not long ago I have seen both the growth and the let downs of the current council. I want to give a voice for our green spaces, local community and those who want a new, fresh voice to speak for them in their area. I used to vote Green as a voice against the current system, I now stand with the Greens because I believe in their manifesto and mantra; hope not hate.
