Christopher Parr (Green)
I AM standing to give the people of Denton South the opportunity to vote for a local Green candidate.
As a Green Councillor, I would work to progress Tameside’s Climate Change and Environment Strategy.
The council declared a climate emergency over four years ago yet still lacks sufficient defined actions or targets, despite an already agreed Greater Manchester Environment Plan.
Given the dramatic increase in the cost of living, the obvious actions to pursue are firstly home insulation, to lower energy bills, reduce CO2 emissions and create jobs in a sustainable green industry.
Safe walking and cycling infrastructure and better and cheaper public transport would reduce car dependency, easing transport costs as well as reducing both pollution and CO2.
Our first Green Councillor has challenged the Labour council on these issues since 2019.
I would like to continue that work.
Lee Huntbach led the way for more Greens across Greater Manchester so you can now vote Green with confidence.
Jack Naylor (Labour)
I AM delighted to be standing for re-election in Denton South.
Since first being elected in 2019, it has been a privilege to stand up for our area and ensure Denton South is a great place to live, learn and get on.
I am proud of the work I have done alongside my colleagues Councillor George Newton and Councillor Claire Reid, supporting residents through the cost-of-living crisis, sustained Tory cuts savaging vital services and the highest tax burden in 70 years.
I know there is much more to be done.
From continuing to support the most vulnerable in our community and ensuring that residents’ voices are heard on issues affecting our area to protecting and enhancing our parks, playgrounds and green spaces, you have my full commitment that I will continue to work for you to deliver the best for the area we all call home.
