OUR TOP 10 PRIORITIES FOR A GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE RUGBY

The 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.

No cuts to Jobs and services – A real threat hangs over Rugby, losing core services and facing mass unemployment.

No closure of Hawthorn Ward – SAVE ST CROSS!

Expanding properly funded Youth clubs into every community to challenge the scourge of drugs and crime so damaging to local families and communities.

Fight Post Office closures and seek to reopen closed Post Offices as Community hubs.

No to Incineration – it damages both health and the environment.

Rail not Road – Reopen rail lines and promote cleaner safer travel and movement of goods – 1 train = 125 Lorries in levels of carbon omissions.

Promote buses and an integrated travel provision - A flat fare of £1 in the Rugby Borough – keep free transport for Pensioners, the disabled and introduce for under 16’s.

Cut fuels bills by providing free Insulation for all homes in Rugby – It’s been done by other local authorities through Green Party pressure by making the utility companies pay.

Democratise the planning process so that local communities can have a fair and proper say through independent facilitators.

Stop the plan to build at the Masts Site – it’s ill conceived and unsustainable!

FAIR IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR!
