The local Green Party for Northampton South is Northants Green Party

Julie stands for a fairer society, and making the green option the easiest and cheapest one is part of that.  We think ‘Fair is Worth Fighting For' on many issues including:

Community - Greens campaign to revitalise our communities and want to save public services from cuts.

Education -  Julie would ensure education is free, including school meals.

Environment - Greens will make it easier to recycle and compost household waste and help you reduce your waste.

Transport -  Julie will prioritise schemes for pedestrians, cyclists, bus and rail travel.

Health - Greens want publicly run care that is properly funded, free at the point of use for all.

My Experience

Our Northampton South candidate is Julie Hawkins.

She has lived in Northampton for 30 years, Trained as a nurse (RGN) at Northampton General Hospital, and is currently mother to her two sons, and a specialist family support advisor across Northants for children and families with ADHD/Autistic Spectrum.  She is very interested in local issues, has stood in both Borough and County Council Elections and is currently involved in this years scheme to put up flower baskets along Colwyn Road to improve the local environment.

There are still more pressing issues in this area such parking, security, recycling, and the local youth.  There is little for teenagers to do in this area; this leads to graffiti, broken glass and groups intimidating residents.  It is essential to fund local youth centres, provide indoor and outdoor activities to give our youngsters a leg-up in life and prevent anti-social behaviour.
