j0hn says ...

I am married with two grown up children, and have lived in the Bury North constituency for 28 years. I work as a teacher at a very successful local school where I hold a position on the senior management team and a volunteer role as a leader for the D of E award scheme. Prior to entering the teaching profession I had a career in the electronics manufacturing industry and also ran my own IT consultancy business working throughout Europe.

I strongly support the renationalisation of the railway network, I oppose fracking for shale gas, and I am campaigning for Bury to become a Frack Free Zone. I strongly believe that education should be free and open – the Greens will abolish all tuition fees and we support the provision of free social care for the over 65s. As your Green Party MP, I will make balanced and informed judgements based on fairness and equality for the common good.

Local green policies will be driven by evidence based local issues decided by the needs of local people, like you!
