Green candidate calls on Brent Council to review Mapesbury asphalt & Furness trees decisions
William Relton, Green Party parliamentary candidate for Brent Central is calling on Brent Council to review two actions that were due to be implemented on Monday morning in the night of its Climate Emergency Declaration. William said,
Quite why this is happening so soon after The Climate Emergency Declaration was made is quite staggering.The Climate Emergency Declaration must be more than a public relations stunt. It will only have credibility if residents can see that it affects Brent Council’s every environmental action. I support Mapesbury residents concerned about the detrimental environmental impact of asphalt replacing paving in Dartmouth Road and the people of Furness Road who have managed to delay the cutting down of trees in their road, five of which are outside Furness Primary School. Both cases indicate that the Council is prevented by a bureaucratic interpretation of its own guidelines in making sensible decisions that contribute to the fight against climate change.
I call on Brent Council to review both decisions and ensure that all such actions are seen through the lense of the Climate Emergency Declaration. Coincidentally I responded in the comments section of the CED specifically about Brent needing to implement a large scale tree planting programme, and this removal of healthy trees seems to be completely at odds with its own policy.

Introducing your Green Party candidates for Brent Central and Brent North

William Relton making the case for the Green Party in Willesden Green |
My name is William Relton. I am honoured and delighted to have been
selected as the candidate for the Green Party in Brent Central. This really is
the most important election for decades. The timing is not right for a proper
General Election on the broader issues concerning most people up and down the
country, which is how a General Election should work. This election will be
forever remembered as the Brexit election. Just as Caroline Lucas has been
campaigning ever since the ’16 referendum, we really should have had a proper
People’s Choice referendum before this election. However, Parliament, or at
least the two largest parties, has decided that we should have an election now,
so here we are.
This will be a very important election for the smaller parties. People have
really begun to realise that our two party, first past the post system, just
doesn’t work anymore. A total reform of our electoral system is urgently
needed. A vote for the smaller parties is a step in the right direction towards
Proportional Representation, a system that the vast majority of modern
democracies use. The Lib Dems are still badly tainted by their record in the
coalition government with the Tories. A vote for the Green Party will help
support a movement for a fairer, cleaner, happier Britain. Please do vote for
me, William Relton, Green Party, Brent Central on December 12.

As a Green Party member, I care about the
environment yes, but then again, I haven’t ever met anyone who doesn’t. We all
want a healthy world we can leave for our children. That doesn’t mean banning
all cars or forcing everyone to become vegans, it means finding workable
solutions that can make us make positive changes to our lifestyles. But right now,
the biggest distraction is Brexit. The leave result was a crude answer to a
complicated set of problems championed by pandering politicians looking to
advance their careers at the cost of everybody else. I first joined the Greens
when I saw how impotently Corbyn tried to oppose the Leave campaign. The Green
Party opposes division, it stands for unity, for the planet and for its people.
I stand with them and for Brent now and for the future.
