Statement to voters

I have lived in Histon for over 20 years, so I am aware of the issues experienced by our community and will work hard to solve them.

I am campaigning on three main issues:

1) Safer Streets - fix potholes, improve dangerous junctions and minimise traffic around schools at drop off and pick up.

2) Better Buses - Histon and Impington deserve more than one bus every 40 minutes! I will campaign to make them every 10 minutes. I also support the proposal for a new bus stop for Orchard Park East so that residents can easily get to Cambridge North Station.

3) Facilities for young people - I want to work with our community to find the best location for the Histon and Impington pump track and will also push for better support for youth clubs for our children and teenagers.

At 29 I am young for a political candidate. I hope to make my voice heard for young people in this country who have been continuously let down by the past 14 years of Tory rule. In my lifetime, inequality has increased, hate crime has risen and the gender pay gap has stagnated. The Tory rhetoric I grew up surrounded by; ‘hard work equals success’, is a lie. The Green Party, in contrast, understands that we are not born equal and that there are deeply entrenched systems in place that ensure this stays that way. I am standing to be a voice for change, to break down these systems, in order that everyone in this country benefits.

I am deeply connected to Cambridgeshire; I was born in Addenbrookes, studied at Impington Village College, Hills Road Sixth Form and Cambridge University, before working locally as a landscape designer. During the pandemic I volunteered as the coordinator for Cambridge Community Kitchen, which served 300+ people hot meals 3 times a week. Cambridgeshire is the most unequal place in the UK. I believe we should make all new development sustainable, prioritise the construction of high-quality social housing and invest in services for existing communities. It is imperative that all housing developments should positively impact the residents around them and the landscapes they sit within.

I am a proud feminist and will always advocate for women’s autonomy over their own bodies. I am an LGBTQAI+ ally and am especially passionate about protecting the trans community against violence. I will fight for the rights of minorities and those who suffer under discrimination. I am an antiracist and continue to educate myself around racial discrimination. I stay informed on difficulties facing the disabled community and care greatly about accessibility. I oppose the genocide of the Palestinian population and echo the Green Party's cries for an immediate ceasefire and end to arms sales to Israel.

Vote Green and bring a new positive energy to the political landscape; real hope and real change!
