Why should I vote for the Green Party in elections?
At Ealing Green Party we believe in making promises we know we CAN keep.
We believe Ealing needs and deserves Councillors who are effective, responsive, and make an effort
to engage with all the people they serve.
Where we are elected, we have made a commitment to send newsletters three times a year to share
our success and challenges as Councillors.
Our priorities for Ealing are:
Addressing over-development
In common with so many residents of Ealing, we are concerned that small, unaffordable flats in tall
towers do not help to address the housing issues of the Borough, and have a negative effect on the
quality of life of those living near them. We would push for stronger action on planning, including
holding developers to the goals set in Ealing Council’s own Climate Strategy.
We would also push for changes to the planning process to give local residents more say in what
happens in their area.
Reducing air pollution
Reducing the number of short car journeys is essential to reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions. We are passionate about cycling, and want to see joined up schemes that make it more
accessible. But we also need pleasant places to walk, safe places to cross, and the best possible
public transport provision.
Protecting urban green spaces
Warren Farm is a crucial site in the Borough for biodiversity. We are working with local campaign
organisations to call for it to become a Local Nature Reserve.
We know there is so much more to be done. The balance needs to shift to make the sustainable
choice easy and affordable. As Councillors we will be the Green voices Ealing needs, for people
and planet.
