Andrew Bishop

Statement to voters

I have lived in my constituency for over a year. I work locally and my son attends a local nursery. This is where my family have made our home. I believe in a future that we all have a stake in. For me, the Green Party is about the future - a future where we stand up for environmental and social justice and community-led grassroots democracy. I will stand up for need not greed, properly funded schools and NHS, sustainable development, cheaper public transport. I am against endless new housing sprawl and fracking. I want to see a soft Brexit and a second referendum to give the people the power to decide our future. I have worked in education for the past decade. I am passionate our children deserve a future and believe there should be no postcode lottery when it comes to education funding. I will work to make the towns and villages of the constituency destinations for their residents with more opportunities available locally for work and leisure. This constituency needs a voice that isn’t lost to the stagnant debate of national politics; a voice I believe the Green Party and myself can give it. It is the Green Party’s policies that have motivated me to stand and give my community a choice – a new politics, a politics of hope.
