    #VoteGreen in Cliftonville April 9th.

    Green policies are for #PeoplePoweredPolitics, tackling local affordability concerns, concerns that councillors CAN actually impact.

    Our Green candidate, Margate’s Councillor Rob Yates, has personally investigated Southern Water through submitting Freedom of Information requests revealing the number of times the company had breached its environmentally damaging and dangerous permit boundary through pumping sewage into the sea. Rob states: “Privatisation without competition is exploitation. England and Wales are the only country in the world with a fully privatised water industry – now is the time to reverse Thatcherism.”

    Councillor Yates has also reached an agreement with Southern Water that Thanet residents will be put on the Social Tariff data sharing scheme, which could benefit 3,000 Thanet residents with an extra £200 a year. Southern Water have now agreed to fast-track the data sharing agreement, automatically saving thousands of pounds for Thanet residents, and a year earlier than planned.

    #GoGreen for Cliftonville on April 9th. Vote for Councillor Rob Yates.
