Helen Claire Yeo
Green Party candidate for Rural Tunbridge Wells
I was fortunate to move back to the area four years ago and I really appreciate how beautiful the landscape is and how important the local communities are. Having worked in the NHS for over a decade I have seen how societal injustice has had a huge negative impact on the nation's health. The Green Party's vision of a healthy society for all is one that I fully share; it means good quality housing, clean water and material security for all, accessible public services and a clean, safe environment. I am a keen supporter of local initiatives to promote dark skies, create new habitats and re-introduce native species.
