Statement to voters

Hard-working local campaigner Matthew Howard is your Green Party candidate for the election in Petersfield on 1st May.

Full statement



Matt has been challenging the councils in Cambridge to be greener and fairer for 6 years. Greens are gaining support rapidly in Petersfield.

Matt is a trained Chemical Engineer working to tackle the climate crisis everyday.

Previously a volunteer in the refugee crisis in Greece, Matt has fought inequality in all its forms. He has challenged false claims of both Labour and Lib Dem administrations, who have overseen a widening wealth gap across the city for decades.

Matt's 4 pillars are: - More protected Green space - Better, greener transport - Local wellbeing, not developer profit - Building community to reduce inequality

Matt sees a strong Green future for Cambridge and is working hard to build an ever stronger team of campaigners, supporters alongside networks with local groups, charities, residents associations and community interest organisations. He sees how the importance and symbolism of building local resilience and sustainable habits must lead to the bigger shifts the world needs.
