I have lived in Royston for 4 years with my partner Francesca. My father was a Church of England vicar. From observing his pastoral care for the local community, I learnt that it’s important to have compassion for all people and when needed respectfully disagree with people while still working together for the greater good. I also learnt that it is important to work and strive for a better future and to always stand-up for the voiceless and disadvantaged people.
I have worked in Royston for over 10 years in Quality Control at an electronics company, and as such I know the importance of having an eye for detail and that quality is always more important than quantity.
As your Green councillor, I will be available and commit to champion Royston Palace, its community and the whole town. Within the North Herts Council I would call for much needed resources to develop a more sustainable community, focused on meeting present and future challenges.
Since becoming part of the Royston community, I have worked with the Green Party due to our shared principles of environmental justice, economic equality and social wellbeing.
I would be very honoured to represent Royston Palace in North Herts Council, and I believe that even one lone Green voice on the Council can change the debate, challenge the status quo and Labour’s complacency, and ensure local people concerned about climate change and passionate about their community have an effective voice within the District government.
I am enthusiastic about creating a more sustainable positive future for Royston where everyone has the opportunity to live their best life.
My proposals for Royston Palace:
- A planned future – let’s have a neighbourhood plan for Royston.
- Reduce pollution and improve pedestrian and cycling access – let’s have a car free High Street.
- Affordable homes for local people – Let’s have an increase in the percentage of social and affordable housing as part of any new residential development – Don’t let developers dictate what will be built!
- Better facilities in our town – Let’s have a brake on out of town development until a needs assessment is done for the town.
- A better environment – Let’s have an increase in and upgrading of green spaces, play facilities and planting in the town centre.
Vote for the Green candidate this time: vote for Peter Wilkin to represent you – Even one lone Green voice on the Council can change the debate, challenge the status quo and Labour’s complacency, and ensure local people concerned about climate change and their community have an effective voice in local government.”
