Oliver Smith
Green Party candidate for Hiltingbury
Green Party
I've lived in Hiltingbury for 10 years, and my family has lived here for over 50 years. I want to make sure Hiltingbury has good public transport links, ensure our local environment is protected and that it is an affordable place to live, like it has been for my family through the years. The Green Party has shown that politics can be done differently, and with an additional seat on the council, we can work towards replacing the "same old same old" way of running things.
