Trevor's personal statement; " Thankfully the general election has been called; the voting public have an opportunity for radical change. I believe our borough is a fantastic place to live but it can be better and fairer for everyone. I'd like to play my part in delivering a much needed fresh start as the Green Party's parliamentary candidate for Great Yarmouth. I chose to move here from Thurrock because of the good times remembered from childhood. Living here has exceeded my expectations; the opportunities are immense and I feel privileged to be here.  Not everything is rosy; I see the problems in the area; housing, derelict buildings, empty shops, coastal erosion, employment, health inequalities, litter, town centricity. I listen, learn quickly and commit. This puts me in a strong position to fight for the community that I call home. I'm not a politician but I am a natural leader, unafraid of standing up for what is morally right. I was late diagnosed Autistic, I know no other way than honesty and speaking what I think. Autism gives me a distinct advantage; I care about people, places, animals, history and our environment. It also gives me a huge capacity for work but not necessarily saying expectable responses.  I remain hopeful for the future of Great Yarmouth Borough and irrespective of General Election outcome I will strive to make a difference in my community ."
