In Richard's own words

**About Richard Wild**

Hi, I’m Richard. I was born in London and have been a resident of Markhouse now for over 20 years. I’m a criminologist and university lecturer but have always also been a human rights and trade union activist. I started a street group during lock down and do what I can supporting various local community and environmental groups.

It made sense to step up and see what I could do as a member of the Green Party in Waltham Forest but most importantly try to bring change and hope for my friends and neighbours in what are increasingly dark times.

**What Richard stands for**

Please vote for me as your councillor for Markhouse so that I can fight for you, for a safer, cleaner, greener and fairer Waltham Forest.

I think we can be much more ambitious together – improving air quality, public transport, affordable housing, and insulating to bring down bills. We need to be more radical and pro-social in our solutions in ways that supports everyone, are inclusive, prioritise the well-being of young people, the vulnerable and safeguards the future.

I would always seek to do this with the community, in a transparent and honest way, answerable to you.

Is this you?
