And so it begins. The campaign proper to get me elected as Mayor of North Tyneside. The nomination papers are filled in and just need to be approved on Tuesday morning and it is all official. Later on Tuesday we launch the "Manifesto for Green Transition in North Tyneside" which you can read by going to the North Tyneside Green Party web site which is at the side of this posting.
Over the next three weeks I and other Green Party members will be doing the rounds asking you if you would support us at the election. One question we do not ask is if you are going to vote for me; that is between you and the ballot box and you just wouldn't believe the rigmarole you have to go to to break the secrecy of the ballot box - high court judgments and the like. But it is important that people see their candidates or their representatives; there is not a hope in hell that I could knock on every ones door and find you in so the people representing me are vital. The Green Party is still quite small in North Tyneside but we are always looking for people to participate in our activities (even if they don't join the party) so if you fancy it you know how to get to our web pages - it's at the side.
Vote Green on June 4th
The House.
The old caretakers house at Richardson Dees School, Wallsend, has been given an Eco Make-over. In its self this is fine but there is a telling comment from Labour Mayor John Harrison. He is quoted as saying "This project is unique in the North East." Why? Okay we need to find ways of converting our old housing stock to modern energy efficient truly Green units that people enjoy living in. So now we have one such house in North Tyneside; that's ONE! Across North Tyneside there are hundreds such houses. Surely if it is even just to do research there should be a few more of them dealt with than just this one. There is a big job to do here and our housing cannot afford to be treated in the cosmetic way it has in the past. This have got to be done thoroughly and fast.
