Luke Nicholas Robinson
Green Party candidate for Longdendale
I am standing to give the people of Longdendale the opportunity to vote for a Green candidate. As a Green Councillor I would work to progress Tameside’s Climate Change and Environment Strategy. Given the dramatic increase in the cost of living, the obvious actions to pursue are firstly home insulation to lower energy bills, provide green jobs and reduce CO2 emissions. Secondly, safe walking and cycling infrastructure and better and cheaper public transport. This would reduce fuel costs for poorer residents as well as reducing both pollution and CO2. Green-led councils across the country are already working on these issues. Greens are already winners in Tameside having recently won the Gorton and Denton by-election. We need more Greens to continue challenging Labour on the environment and council tax bills. I strongly believe in the positive values that immigration brings and the important benefits it offers to our country.
