“Save our public services.”
GENERA L ELECTIO N
A PUBLIC NHS – WE WILL: • Fight for a publicly funded NHS free at the point of use and end the creeping privatisation of its services. • Make mental health a much higher priority with resources to match this status.
A FAIR ECONOMY – WE WILL:
margaret says ... Ladywood has some of the most ethnically diverse wards in Birmingham, with the highest levels of unemployment and deprivation. At the same time it showcases prestigious building projects, which have done nothing to improve conditions for the urban poor.
• End austerity and restore the public sector to create over one million good jobs. This will be paid for with a wealth tax on the top 1%, a Robin Hood tax on the banks and the closure of tax loopholes. • A minimum wage of £10 an hour by 2020.
DECENT HOMES – WE WILL:
To restore dignity and decent living standards to our inner cities, we must reverse the trend to ever more centralisation of wealth and power. We must foster localism – grassroots initiatives, not top-down solutions, and restoration of democracy by local empowerment.
• Abolish the unfair Bedroom Tax.
In 2010 Ladywood had the lowest voting turnout in Birmingham, as people had no hope that politicians would do anything for them. In 2015, the Green vote can change our political landscape. Be part of the change!
• Take serious action to ensure global temperatures do not rise further.
