Leslie Dalton Green Party. Votes 209
I have lived in Eastbourne for nearly 20 years, originally from London I have lived elsewhere in the UK and for a number of years in Australia, both as a teacher and working with an Aborigine children in a remote area.
A parent of five children, I have a deep concern for the future both locally and in the broader context. It makes no sense to develop - in the sense that more roads and building are a development, with no thought for the future. Here in the South East we have fast diminishing water resources, our energy supplies are uncertain yet those in authority expend their energies as if there were no tomorrow. If they proceed as at present they may well be right.
We have limited resources locally and globally so we need to use them wisely. The choice is short-term gain for some or long term prosperity for all with the Green Party. The Environment must be at the centre of ALL policy decisions. The Green Party offers a framework in which the wider community makes informed decisions for all, not for developers, not for political convenience, not for profit, but for the long-term benefit of us all.
Along with this goes the belief that the individual is important, has value and has both rights and duties. The state is there to serve us and not vice versa, so no compulsory ID cards, no enforced medication in our food and drink.
We believe in implementing our principles honestly.
