Catherine Mary Ross
Green Party candidate for Itchingfield, Slinfold & Warnham
I'm standing up for my town and the surrounding area. I'm standing against cuts to school funding, for adequate provision of school places and for proper funding for our NHS and social care. I'm standing against building thousands of homes across precious countryside without any of the infrastructure for the people who live there. I'm standing for a reliable rail service that enables people in Horsham to live and work, rather than just work and commute. I've lived in and around Horsham since I was two years old. I love it here and I want more for all of us who live here. No matter what you might think of our incumbent, he's hamstrung by his party's national policies that are reducing funding for our local authorities, increasing inequality and failing our children.
