South Lincolnshire Green Party is fielding more candidates than ever in the upcoming election. The Green Party is now the third party in terms of voter intention. Voting Green therefore can make a difference and we can, and do, win seats.

I have lived in South Lincolnshire for over thirty years and as a resident of the division, I'm excited to be standing as candidate in the Lincolnshire County Council elections

I enjoy supporting our community, working as a volunteer in a biodiversity group for the Wyndham Park Forum; I helped establish and now help with running Grantham Men's Shed. I co-lead Grantham RiverCare, which has just won a prestigious award BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Make-A-Difference Award. And I'm a member of Grantham Lions.

My priority would be to work to prepare Lincolnshire for future challenges, the most pressing of which is adapting to a changing climate. Lincolnshire County Council needs to recognise the perilous state of planet and do what it can mitigate and adapt to the climate emergency. Acting now to protect the natural world will reward us with benefits for the area.

As I live close to the town, I can often be found with a litter picker in hand. Other problems I would prioritise are traffic congestion and parking, which will be important to encourage and support local businesses to bring a vibrant feeling back to our town as we emerge from the pandemic.
