Why vote Green?
What some people say:
"The Greens will never get in."
There are over 100 Green councillors, including in Watford, Welwyn and Herts County. Many are in powerful groupings, able to influence policy and tip the balance on important decisions. There are Green MEPs, London Assembly and Scottish Parliament members."Greens are only interested in the environment."
We have policies for all areas of the council's activities (see policies). But our policies are all rooted in the principle of sustainability."The other parties all have green policies now."
True. But those policies are not being acted on, and anyway they are not nearly enough.Every Green vote sends a clear message about what you want - a principled, practical, hard-working, fresh approach to local government. Our local vote share doubled last year, and the message is getting through.
St Albans Greens want our district to be run a lot better: planning decisions that protect our city's character not the interests of developers; strong support for energy and water efficiency and renewable power; sustainable transport planning giving top priority to pedestrians and cyclists; support for local traders against the clone stores that threaten the city's identity.
And Greens are the only party taking climate change seriously. This is the biggest issue facing us today, and there is a huge amount our local council could be doing about it.
