You have a great choice in Swanage this May.
You can vote for the party that fights for social
justice, the planet and peace.
Our aim is to work with other parties on a council
dedicated to the common good.
Across the UK, groups of Greens challenge,
influence and bring about real changes in policy and
we will do the same here.
The Green Party works to bring about policies that
satisfy the objectives of creating or providing:
✔✔ A sustainable economy, boosted by investing in
things we really need: affordable, environmentfriendly homes, public transport and clean
energy
✔✔ Protection for the environment, our wildlife,
green spaces and heathlands
✔✔ A fair society, with equal opportunities for all
✔✔ A guaranteed minimum income and real
increases in pensions
✔✔ Support for local enterprises
✔✔ Protection for citizens’ rights
✔✔ Democratic, accountable and open local
government
