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'm proud to be standing as the Green Party candidate for Grantham Barrowby in the upcoming county council elections.

Originally from the North West, I moved to Lincolnshire around two years ago, living outside of the main towns, in a community where farming is the major industry.

I'm passionate about coming together to help our agricultural industry transition and face the challenges of climate change and increasing regulations.

This is not a blame game, this is about those people working in this county's biggest industry knowing they're not facing these challenges alone.

After a decade working in finance, I moved to work in the wine industry and support producers across the globe embracing future proofing techniques, both environmental and economic.

I will put environmental contingencies front and centre of any council plans, ensuring that the biodiversity disaster of the prolonged construction of the A52 relief road can never be repeated.

I will also make a priority of reducing the prevalence of fly tipping, especially in rural areas.

My policies for urban areas of Lincolnshire will be to increase the infrastructure for active travel, including joined up cycle routes and pedestrianised zones.

I will also argue for 20mph zones in residential areas and around all our schools.
