Building a Better Staffordshire– For Everyone
Staffordshire needs local representatives who understand our everyday challenges and our future needs. Your Green Party councillors will:
Tackle the Cost of Living Crisis
- Support local businesses and green jobs, through stronger collaboration with Local Enterprise Partnerships.
- Demand genuinely affordable housing from developers, and bring about a strict Community Infrastructure Levy on all developments.
- Partner with businesses in a skills programme to meet local shortages and help residents to access better-paying jobs.
Protect Community Services
- Oppose cuts to libraries and community centres, working with community groups.
- Campaign for improved mental health support, through joint funding bids with the NHS.
- Advocate for better facilities for young people in our communities, by engaging with youth organisations.
Transform Local Transport
- Push for better road maintenance by challenging wasteful consultant spending.
- Facilitate improved bus services through partnership with neighbouring councils.
- Create safe cycling routes to schools, using developer contributions and government grants.
Defend Our Environment
- Demand protection for our green spaces and rivers, advocate for council-backed home insulation schemes to cut energy bills, and strongly oppose unsustainable development in the Green Belt.
- Promote local renewable energy projects that generate income for our communities, through Community Municipal Bonds.
- Safeguard our precious natural environment including protecting and planting trees.
Campaign for Fairer Democracy
- Campaign for a fairer Proportional Representation electoral system in local elections, whether they be for District, County, Unitary Authority Councils, or Mayoral.
Vote Green for councillors who’ll be a strong voice for your community and protect our environment for you and future generations. We will work to bring about a County Council that responds effectively to residents’ queries and values their experience; that makes the most of Council budgets and invests in core services; and that shares information transparently with early and meaningful consultations on new projects.
