Campaigns - what Adrian stands for

An affordable Norwich

Bus prices in the city keeping on rising. Hundreds of local residents are struggling to pay their fuel bills. The new homes being built are not in the price bracket of most local people. Greens have policies to make living in the city more affordable to residents.

Adrian is campaigning for new council housing to be built, for all new developments to include affordable housing, for re-regulation of the buses to make them cheaper and more reliable and for a scheme where people's homes are insulated to cut down on fuel bills, keep people warm and reduce carbon emissions.

Real action on climate change

Green policies would create a healthier, low-carbon Norfolk economy with hundreds of new jobs. Adrian is fighting for new jobs in renewable energy production, local agriculture and repair shops.

Green proposals would make it easier for people to benefit from clean, free energy from the sun.  Green proposals would mean far more of our food and other goods being produced locally, supporting the local economy and reducing carbon emissions. Green proposals would see far more recycling and far less waste: taxes on packaging, more repair shops for fixing damaged goods and recycling facilities for a greater range of materials.

Protecting local services

The Labour Government is literally mortgaging our children’s future by privatising more of the NHS and education system and pushing through more and more PFI deals, creating huge public debt for decades to come. More and more schools are being handed over to private consortiums to run as part of Gordon Brown’s academy school scheme.

In Norwich, Adrian has been at the forefront of local campaigns to protect local services, whether it be keeping Post Offices open, resisting private influence over our children's education or protecting local health centres. Green policies would keep crucial local services in public hands and available locally.
