The Green Party
has selected local activist Emma Wallace to be their Brent and Harrow
Constituency candidate for the postponed GLA election that will now be held in
May 2021.
Emma, a librarian,
has lived in Harrow for over 10 years and during her six year membership of the
Green Party has been involved in both local and national politics and
campaigns. She has actively campaigned to defend green spaces from development,
such as the expansion of Harrow School’s sports hall on Metropolitan Open Land
and the expansion of Heathrow Airport.
She has also fought to protect public services from closure including
local libraries and NHS Walk-in centres as well as vital mental health services
such as The Bridge Café in Harrow.
Emma said:
"I am very happy to be selected as the Green Party's Brent and Harrow GLA candidate for the May 2021 London elections. I look forward to standing in this most multicultural and diverse of joint constituencies, representing the concerns and needs of its residents in my campaign. As a local activist, I believe I have a good understanding of the wide range of issues facing residents, from lack of affordable housing, to long NHS waiting times and encroaching developments on green land. I will work hard to make sure Brent and Harrow residents get their voices heard, whilst ensuring they benefit from the best of Green policies, from Universal Basic Income to the Green New Deal."
Hi this is a message for Emma Wallace. My name is Bruce Prochnik and I have recently read a report in The Watford Observer on Emma's concern and action with regards to the removal of vegetation by TFL along rail line embankments. I see that Emma has started a petition but there is no reference to how anyone can sign up. My wife and I are whole heartedly in support. We live in Kings Langley and we back on to the main West Coast line, Euston to Manchester. We have lived here for 32 years and have witnessed the systmatic removal of vegetation over that period. When our grandchildren and friends childred were yound we use to have try to see the passing trains up on an enbankment through the trees & shrubs. Today, when a train passes it's like having the train in your back garden. We have lost a noise barrier and screening from the actual train. I have complained many times to Rail Track, or whatever the current name is these days, but always get the "safety" line. Anyway, enough, could you please pass this message on to Emma and please let me have details of the petition? Kind regards, Bruce Prochnik (bruceprochnik@live.co.uk)
