NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THE GREEN PARTY IN THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BRENT

31 Mar 2022

Introducing Jordan Harris your Green candidate for Wembley Hill


 

I'm delighted to be standing for the Green Party in Wembley Hill. I believe the Green Party is the only party that can bring about genuine positive change.

 

 I moved to London in 2017 and I previously stood for Yiewsley, in Hillingdon, in the 2018 Borough elections, where I took part in hustings.

 

I subsequently moved to Brent in 2021, the first time I've felt settled in London.

 

I'm passionate about bringing a real change to Brent and supporting its people, which Labour has failed to do for years.

 

I work for a mental health charity and have understood how political apathy and climate anxiety have affected people. The Green party will tackle these two issues.

Introducing Natasha Woodward Green candidate for Brondesbury Park

 

 

Brent Council has considerable tools available to it to take more steps to address the environmental crisis including in the way it spends money and what it gives permission for.  Appropriate challenge and scrutiny are essential to ensure good intentions expressed are effective but are difficult to achieve in a council that has for so long been completely dominated by one party, the Labour Party.  Brent needs representation from different parties and a vote for the GreenParty is a vote for greater scrutiny in the light of environmental issues which cannot be separated from fairness and justice.  
 

 

I have lived and worked in Brent for 9 years and am a keen cyclist.  My‘day job’ is as an Anglican priest, presently based at Christ Church Brondesbury, home of Laurence’s Larder Community Kitchen and Food Bank.   I am chair of governors of a community school in Brent, and a postgraduate student in Environment and Sustainability.  Here I have learnt a great deal about the local community: the wonderful gifts of life in this area along with its challenges.  I am delighted to be a candidate for Brondesbury Park and offer the people here the opportunity to vote Green.

Introducing Sheila Simpson your Green candidate for Queens Park

 

 

I’ve lived in Brent for decades working in the NHS and Local Government supporting children and families. 

 

 Over the last two years it has been heartening to see Brent residents rise to challenges - pandemic, continuing cuts to public services, rising living costs and inequality – their commitment to building diverse and caring local communities is impressive. People want to be part of the solution but need a listening and effective council to deliver a fairer, healthier life.

 

 I am standing to offer Queens Park residents the opportunity to vote for Green values of social justice and tackling climate emergency.

 

 We all benefit when the majority party is firmly challenged to be open about decision-making, planning and spending and deliver on their promises to us. 

 

Affordable well-insulated housing, protected trees and green spaces, well-managed traffic and public transport - all need urgent action to provide cleaner, safer, greener neighbourhoods for us now and for future generations.

Introducing Peter Murry your Green candidate for Dollis Hill

 

 I am standing for election to Brent council as a Green Party candidate because I wish to give voters an opportunity to express support for a political agenda which emphasises environmental and social justice and genuinely intends to enact policies which address these concerns locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. 

British politics, at all levels, needs peoples’ concerns about climate change and the gross inequality and unfairness of our society to be represented; every vote for the Green Party counts towards achieving this aim
