Our 10 Point Plan and 2006 Candidates
OUR TEN POINT PLAN FOR BRENT AND HARROW
-
Put a stop to the closure of our police stations and hospital wards.
-
Have libraries and post offices within walking distance for all.
-
Scrap new road building and switch funds to public transport, cycling and pavement repair.
-
Stop the back-door privatisation of our schools, promote safe routes, and put healthy food on our children's plates.
-
Promote local youth clubs and community spaces both in their own right and to reverse some of the causes of anti-social behaviour and crime.
-
Protect our local heritage, green space and wildlife from unsustainable development.
-
Enforce energy efficiency for new buildings and invest in 20,000 solar roofs for Brent and Harrow.
-
Promote fair trade goods in local shops, and quality, wholesome produce in farmers' markets.
-
Run social services and housing to ensure equal access for those in most need.
-
Return local democracy to the streets by fostering genuine participation in decisions that affect our everyday lives.
For public services, environmental care and local communities - vote Green.
