Hi I’m Chris and I will be standing as the Green Party candidate for Mansfield North. I’m particularly concerned with how the big political parties have under delivered both nationally and locally here in Mansfield. I don’t see progress rather I see the town going backwards into depression. It is the same people who have allowed the town to decline that now seek your vote. My view is that they don’t deserve your vote, you need change and some people who will provide an alternative.
I see we have some nice areas within the district but sooner or later they may suffer the same fate as the town centre has, that is, neglected and run down. We need to stop this now and we need to have alternative people at the table at County Hall to press for investment and also care for our environment. I see pot holes all over Mansfield however recently the County Councillor for the Berry Hill area has announced major funding to fix the roads – so why not in this area? I want to make sure that local people are given an opportunity to see real change and that is why I am seeking your vote as a Green Party candidate.
The area can do better than vote for the traditional larger parties, who when get elected, ignore you for near on four years until they want your vote to get re-elected. It is time to show them the red card and place your trust in representatives who will deliver, who will talk to people and who have the common good in mind. Strong communities need strong representation and not part time representatives who don’t understand what communities are. Whether you live in the area, work in the area or if your children are schooled in the area, we all have one connection and that is the area. Be bold and at the election take a chance because the Green Party will deliver as we are doing in other parts of the country and because we don’t get corporate donations so we don’t owe any favours – we work entirely for you.
