Lee Ingram
Green Party candidate for Peartree
I'm a Southampton resident standing in Peartree for the Green Party in the May local elections. As expected I am environmentally conscious, but also very conscious of social justice and the cost of living. I work in mental health and volunteer in drug addiction recovery, and would love to direct my political energies into representing the people of this great city. The present is very uncertain and the future even less so. I am under no illusions about the scale of the problems we face and will do all I can to fight for the best possible outcomes for everybody.
