My name is John-Barry Waldron and I'm excited to be running as a candidate for the green party in the upcoming local elections.

Full statement

I am passionate about preserving the local environment and green spaces. Working with the local community to advocate for them on local issues.

As a mental health nurse, I have witnessed the impact that cuts to local services have had on the mental health of individuals and the community. That’s why I am committed to making mental health a priority in this local election, including ensuring that everyone has better access to local services and resources.

I believe that the environment, local services and mental health are interconnected and that by prioritising them, we can create a stronger, more resilient community that is able to face the challenges of the future.

As a candidate for the green party, I am committed to working hard on behalf of the community and strongly supporting policies that will support the well-being of all of us. I am excited to work with you and to make a positive difference in the community.

Thank you for considering my candidacy and I look forward to earning your support in this election.
