Councillor Candidate
Charles Barraball

Charles Barraball

Green Party candidate for West Barnes

Green Party

I and my late wife happily raised four children in Wimbledon but local services are being reduced particularly for the elderly, the poor and the less privileged. The Green Party stands for the common good. We are not controlled by lobbyists. The core values of the Green Party are relevant here. Our environment is being damaged. Road traffic is causing more and more air pollution and the care of our open spaces is being privatised so our volunteers will be working for a private company's profits. We believe in a right to education without incurring debt, to health without profiteering and to a compassionate and equal society. A vote for the Green Party sends a powerful message to the other parties.
