Chris Parr

Green Party candidate for Hyde Werneth

Green Party

I am standing to give the people of Hyde Werneth the opportunity to vote for a Green candidate. I’m proud to stand representing a party that believes in hope not division, and is working to build a fairer and greener world. If elected that is what I’ll be championing by pushing for practical steps such as improving home insulation to combat rising energy costs, and Improving public transport and safer walking and cycling routes to reduce dependency on cars and increase options for those who can’t or don’t want to drive. The recent by-election has shown that a vote for the Green party is not just a protest against the mismanagement of Labour and the Tories, but a real chance to push for positive change.
