I moved to Worthing 5 years ago after a lifetime living in Brighton & Hove, where I was a Councillor. I am standing for election to both Worthing and West Sussex councils because I believe passionately about delivering change. That can only be delivered effectively if both councils work better together than they do at the moment.
When Greens are elected, they work hard and deliver lasting change that benefits both people and the planet. I have 8 years’ experience as a councillor in Brighton & Hove where I did just that. I offer experience, commitment and passion.
Please consider voting Green in this election. Voting for the same old parties just delivers the same old results.
Vote Green for the future. If not now, when?

A local councillor has the unique opportunity to tackle the issues you find on your doorstep – recycling, litter, sustainable development. They get to work closely with you in finding out what local matters most concern you and work to bring about change in the neighbourhood you call home. This is an important and distinctive role, and one that I take very seriously. It is a special privilege and joy to be welcomed into my neighbours’ homes for a cup of tea, to discuss the local concerns that matter to them personally. To me, this relationship is at the core of what it is to be a local councillor.
Increasingly, the issues on our doorsteps must be considered within a much larger context. The decisions we make in Central Worthing have wider ramifications, just as we must consider the effect of decisions made at the county and national level here. Worthing has the opportunity to be a leader on the most important issues of the day, bringing in policies that recognize climate breakdown and work to prevent it, that protect our natural environment and encourage young people to cherish it, and that support the most vulnerable in society, cultivating a culture of compassion.

If I am elected I will put sustainability first as this planet needs help if it is to be fit for human life in the generations to come. I will ask for any activity to be carbon neutral and will press for council tax rates to cover services needed to help the disadvantaged of our community to live decently. I will recommend a transport strategy based on priority for walking, cycling and public transport and support encouragement for people to work, and purchase services locally.
I have lived with my wife in Broadwater for 18 years and we try to live lightly on the earth. We dont have a car but use public transport, cycles and legs. Our home is well insulated using non plastic materials and solar electricity panels provide much of our energy need

I have lived in Worthing for 40 years, worked locally, and brought up my family here. I am Chair and Coordinator of Worthing Green Party, and I will continue to fight to make this area a happier place to live and work. On most days I cycle in town, and we must improve the conditions for cyclists and walkers, as well as discouraging rat-running commuter traffic and providing priority parking for residents. I will help you defend and improve our green spaces, and fight enlargement of the A27 with its unacceptable noise and air pollution. As your Green Party candidate, I support more affordable and sustainable housing, a well-funded publicly run NHS, Britain in Europe, and a fairer society.

I’ve lived in Worthing for 3 years now after moving from Brighton & Hove and love my local area, where I try to live with as light a footprint as I can. I’ve been a passionate supporter of the Green Party since volunteering with them in Bristol 7 years ago.
I am standing in both Worthing and West Sussex councils because I firmly believe that the change the Greens can deliver is needed more urgently than ever. I’ve seen first hand how hard Green councillors fight for important issues in their local area while listening to their communities, and I want to play a part in that fight.
Vote Green for a vision of a better world, an alternative vision that doesn’t hurt the environment but seeks to live in harmony with it. If not now, when?

My interest in green issues started back in the late 80’s, when I first joined the Swansea Green Party. At that time, I worked for Swansea City Council, where I became involved with the trade union, holding positions as both Equal Opportunities Officer and Environmental Officer. I subsequently moved to Bristol, and started a career with the Soil Association, where I learnt a great deal about organic and sustainable food production, which I am still passionate about today. My mother has lived in Worthing for almost 40 years, so I have always regarded it as a second home, and I moved here permanently in 2019, just at few months ahead of lockdown! Despite this, I love living here, being an enthusiastic member of the Worthing Green Party, as well as following other passions, including supporting the Connaught Theatre, Buddhist Meditation and working on the committee of a local Arts Society.

We must grab the opportunity that Covid has given us, to revive the centre with local businesses, to look at the social needs of our community, to address the climate crisis. The status quo is not the answer – we must not return to that “normality”. Vote Green for real change.

I have spent 40 years working with young people in education in Sussex as a Deputy Headteacher, School Governor and union rep.
I have serious concerns for future generations: unless we take action soon the planet they inherit will be radically and irreversibly changed from the one we all know and love.
As an elected councillor I would bring the values of the Green movement to local government. These values underpin efforts to prevent long-term damage to our environment due to climate change and support wellbeing at every level. The Green Party support of the Worthing Local Plan (Jan 2021) will assist in ensuring that the words become strongly actioned.

Hailing from the Netherlands, I've lived in Worthing for 5,5 years now. I have studied and received my BA(Hons) here at Northbrook Metropolitan College, and now I work in Brighton. Although currently working from home is as far as I’ll get. I've seen Worthing change over time. I believe there is serious potential to improve the town in a way that's better for us all, visible and less visible. I'd like to see Worthing improve it's cycle-friendliness, as well as making sure the people are aware of all the wonderful things this place has to offer. Ultimately, I love living here, and if I can give anything back to this town, I will do my best to assist in that

I work for the ambulance service and I am a mum to two young children. I feel passionately that the focus of our country needs to be on the long term health and well-being of everybody. We can make the world a better place, living in less polluted conditions and living sustainable lives to ensure our children and children’s children have a future to look forward to. It is with that aim at heart that all policies and decisions should be made.

As a working, local mum, I am standing for the Green Party because I believe in a society that is just and fair for everyone – not just for big businesses. I believe that Worthing deserves to be an inclusive, sustainable town which we are proud to pass on to younger generations to look after. The time to act is now and that action must be for the benefit of all. No party has come even close to delivering this and so I believe that the only party that can – and will - deliver this change for us is the Green Party.

There are some great things going on in Worthing, but we need Green Councillors to help promote the new ideas that are essential to respond to the climate and ecological emergency. I want to work with people to make more happen, better and faster and make Worthing a better place for everyone.

There are some great ideas being discussed for Worthing but we need Green Councillors to help turn these into the actions which are essential to tackle the climate and ecological emergency. I want to work with others to make more happen more quickly to make Worthing a better place for everyone.
