A Green Voice for Calderdale

Aim

We aim to build on the successful campaign in Northowram and Shelf in order to support and develop a Green voice for Calderdale.

We need a Green voice on Calderdale Council to bring more focus to the Covid-19 recovery and to addressing the climate emergency. While other parties to varying degrees have adopted green policies, they have no comprehensive and integrated strategy. Greens do and they bring a fresh voice to Council decisions.

Recovery from Covid-19 requires:

• heightened support for children and young people, young adults, those whose loneliness, mental illness or abuse has increased during the pandemic and carers of all ages;
• long term support for those whose physical or mental health have been affected by the pandemic and to improve the health and well-being of all citizens.

Tackling the climate emergency requires action to reduce the carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency, reduce air pollution, mitigate flooding, create new, sustainable, green jobs and training to support this.

Green councillors will fight to ensure that all these things can be achieved but we need support to continue the successful campaign in Northowram and Shelf and extend this to other wards. We will not stop campaigning when the election is over. So we are seeking to raise £1,000 to support our campaign over the next year.
