HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES

Massive increases in energy prices, food costs and rents have left many unable to make ends meet. We can do more to support those in need.

We believe that access to affordable, secure and decent housing is a human right, not a privilege. Nobody should be left homeless or have insecure accommodation.

While transport is primarily the responsibility of the County, the Cherwell and West Oxon Councils are consultees and can play a key role in delivering planning solutions that reduce the need to travel. Public consultation needs to be improved.

There is a real climate and ecological emergency.  The Green Party has policies which do not ignore it. 

When it comes to health, Oxfordshire is a two-tier County. Most enjoy above average wellbeing, but in some areas death from preventable causes, self-harm and obesity are above average.

All species on Earth are the life support for all others. Greens have long warned of the threat posed by the loss of species – a threat parallel with climate change. We need to do more to protect local habitats.

We hear a lot of talk about the ‘road transport hierarchy’ but time after time the needs of cyclists and pedestrians are given a low priority.

Climate change is having an impact on all of us: we cannot ignore it.

Democracy is not a spectator sport, it's a participatory event. If we don't participate in it, it ceases to be a democracy.
