Sian Berry manifesto

Sian Berry

Change London for good.

Vote Siân Berry.

Vote Green Party.

 

“London is the second most expensive city in the world, and while fortunes are made in the City, ordinary Londoners often struggle to pay for the basics - housing, energy and transport. Being Green is about believing in a fair share for everyone, so I am determined to cut the cost of living and create a fairer, greener London. My plans will also slash the capital's carbon footprint showing that done in the right way, helping save the planet also saves Londoners’ hard earned money. Make this happen by voting Green on May 1st.”

 

SIÂN BERRY, Mayor of London candidate for the Green Party.

 

SIÂN’S PLANS FOR A GREENER, MORE AFFORDABLE LONDON.

  • Cut all bus and off-peak tube fares by 20p.
  • Insist all employers pay a London Living Wage of at least £7.20 per hour.
  • Change planning rules to ensure at least 60% of all new housing is affordable.
  • Affordable premises for small shops and businesses in new commercial developments.
  • Oppose all airport expansion in London and the South East.
  • Rail and tube franchises back under public control.
  • Cancel the £500 million Thames Gateway roadbuilding plans - put the money into public transport instead.
  • Solar electricity and heating on 100,000 roofs in the city by 2015.
  • A 20mph city-wide speed limit on all residential roads throughout London.
