Green Party in Nuneaton to stand a full slate for Warwickshire County Council Elections.
May 6th, 2009The Green Party has been transforming politics in towns and cities across the UK. Green Councillors have saved post offices, made streets safer, and are well known for working hard for local communities because they believe in putting the community first. The Green Party is forming its own autonomus Local Party in Nuneaton and Bedworth.
So everyone has the chance to vote for the Green Party and therefore to vote for a safer, cleaner, and fairer society in the two Elections on the 4th June.
The top priority for the Green Party is to save local services from more damaging cuts and highly risky privatisations. We face the planned sacking of the councils home care staff, starting up Academy Schools, further Post Office closures and merging Nuneaton & Bedworth Fire Stations. Both Labour and Conservatives are putting the profits of business ahead of needs of the public.
The full slate of 14 candidates for seats within the Borough is made up of 8 women and 6 men. The presence of so many female candidates is common in the Green Party, which has recently selected Caroline Lucas as it leader.
The most prominent candidate is likely to be Keith Kondakor, the award winning environmental campaigner who spent most of the last year fighting the planned hazardous waste plant at Judkins. Keith will stand in the Nuneaton town centre Abbey ward.
Keith said, “When elected as the County Councillor for Abbey division I will have one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs in Nuneaton. The problems faced by 6000 people with the County Council will become my problems. I am not a Politician like the rest, and I will really change things for the better. Just having my photo taken outside a closing post office or vandalised building is not enough. I campaign on an issue until all hope is lost and then campaign some more. I do not give up. The County Council will have a very hard time to close anything in Nuneaton Abbey when I am elected.”
