Olga, myselfand the other Green Party Candidates for Cheshire East put the natural environment front and central in everything we do. If you want to preserve the world for future generations, then VOTE GREEN on May 4th. “
Greens promote Fairer Greener Energy
• The cheapest energy bill - with the lowest carbon emissions - is the one you don't have to pay because your home is so well-insulated that it needs little or no heating.
• We would invest £250bn over 10 years in Council-led schemes to insulate 10 million homes.
• We would fund these council-led schemes through an emergency package of taxes on the wealthiest 1% and the biggest fossil fuel polluters
Greens advocate Fairer Greener Housing
• Knowing that you have a secure home is vital for both physical and mental health.
• Record rent rises and the threat of eviction are putting households in a precarious position during the cost of living crisis.
• We are calling for an immediate freeze on rent rises and a ban on no-fault evictions to protect households.
Greens promote Fairer Greener Schools
• The cost of living crisis is having a huge impact on children, especially those from low income households, with child food insecurity doubling in the past year.
• We want the government to provide free school meals for all primary and secondary school children - to give every child a fair start in life and help families during the cost of living crisis
Greens will strive for Fairer, Greener Childcare
• Many parents are facing an impossible situation - they can't afford not to work, but childcare costs are so high that they can't afford to go to work
• We want to see 35 hours of free childcare for all from the age of nine months so that every child gets the care they need and every parent can go to work if they want to.
Greens promote Fairer, Greener Transport
• The Green Party's "One Pound Fare To Take You There" plan would introduce a £1 single fare on all local bus routes in the country and guarantee free travel for everyone under 22.
• The plan includes long-term funding to improve bus services and powers for Councils to set routes and timetables so that buses run where they're needed, not only where they make money.
• We would pay for the plan from a carbon tax and by cancelling £27 billion pounds worth of national road building schemes.
Greens will aim for Fairer, Greener Water
• Our waterways are a vital habitat for wildlife and an important source of green space for residents - but sewage dumps will continue for decades to come under current government plans.
• To protect our rivers and seas, we want water companies to be made accountable for what they are doing to end sewage discharges and clean up our waterways.
• The only sustainable way to run vital services like water is to put people ahead of profit - that's why we would put water back into public hands.
