DON'T VOTE LABOUR: They spent 13 years<br />

privatising public services, increasing inequality, taking<br />

our civil liberties and leading us into the war in Iraq.<br />

DON'T VOTE LIB DEM: Their cuts are already putting<br />

people on the dole and hitting the poorest hardest.<br />

VOTE GREEN - FOR 6 GOOD REASONS:<br />

1. GREENS CAN WIN<br />

ur first MP was elected this year and<br />

we already have two Councillors in<br />

neighbouring Central Ward. Over<br />

15,000 people voted <strong>Green</strong> in<br />

<strong>Sheffield</strong>'s last local <strong>election</strong>s.<br />

2. FOR A HARD-WORKING<br />

LOCAL COUNCILLOR<br />

Campaigner Graham Wroe has lived<br />

in the area for over 30 years. He has<br />

fought many battles for the<br />

community, most recently as part of<br />

the group campaigning to maintain<br />

your access to station bridge.<br />

3. INVESTMENT IN JOBS<br />

The <strong>Green</strong>s would provide real jobs to<br />

benefit all <strong>Sheffield</strong>ers and not make<br />

cuts in jobs and services that would<br />

hit the vulnerable the most.<br />

4. FOR A LIVING WAGE<br />

<strong>Green</strong>s are fighting for a 'living wage'<br />

(of at least £7 an hour) in the council<br />

and the city.<br />

Caroline Lucas<br />

<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Party</strong> MP


Graham Wroe - The Local Choice<br />

Graham Wroe with Councillors Rob Murphy and<br />

Jillian Creasy<br />

Britain's first <strong>Green</strong> MP Caroline Lucas was<br />

elected this May and has become a real<br />

voice for change in parliament. She is<br />

working to stop privatisation in schools<br />

and hospitals and campaigning against<br />

government cuts. The Conservatives and<br />

Lib Dems have shown contempt for<br />

ordinary people by cutting benefits and<br />

services, but Labour got us into this mess<br />

and would have made massive cuts too if<br />

they had been elected. The <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Party</strong><br />

wants investment now to avoid recession.<br />

We want the banks to be broken up and<br />

the creation of a non profit, People's Bank.<br />

You have the chance to send a message<br />

to the big 3 parties. We can't go on like<br />

this - it is time for change. Stop risking<br />

our future for quick profits for the few.<br />

A GREEN VOTE IS FOR<br />

x<br />

INVESTMENT IN JOBS<br />

<strong>Sheffield</strong> needs investment to avoid the<br />

worst effects of the cuts.<br />

We will invest in better insulation and<br />

solar panels on houses. This would save<br />

money for residents, make money for the<br />

Council and help the local economy. Our<br />

priority is to protect people in <strong>Sheffield</strong><br />

from the cuts.<br />

SAFER STREETS<br />

<strong>Green</strong> Councillors in <strong>Sheffield</strong> are working<br />

to reduce traffic congestion, air pollution<br />

and road danger. We want :<br />

• 20 mph speed limits on residential<br />

roads (not main roads)<br />

• The council to take back control of bus<br />

services<br />

• Cheaper fares<br />

• Pedestrian access through the railway<br />

station for all<br />

STRONGER<br />

x COMMUNITIES<br />

We support local businesses over big<br />

companies, which often damage the local<br />

economy. We want more support for<br />

schools and youth facilities.<br />

GRAHAM<br />

WROE<br />

Graham has lived in Hyde Park and Norfolk<br />

Park Park since 1979 and has a strong<br />

record of campaigning for our area. As<br />

chair of Residents against Bernard Road<br />

Incinerator he helped shut down the old<br />

polluting incinerator near Hyde Park. He is<br />

now working hard as press officer for<br />

Residents against Station Closure to<br />

ensure pedestrians can continue to cross<br />

the railway bridge. Graham teaches at<br />

<strong>Sheffield</strong> College. Last year he improved<br />

his house with insulation and solar panels.<br />

He says, “I have drastically reduced my<br />

bills and I want to make sure everyone in<br />

our area can too. We must find ways to make this technology more affordable for<br />

people. <strong>Green</strong>s on Kirklees Council are putting solar panels on council houses and<br />

we should too.<br />

Over 30 years I have seen the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Party</strong> grow into the force it is today with an<br />

MP in Westminster, and councillors countrywide. People are realising that our<br />

policies are sensible and worth voting for. Please elect me and I will do my best<br />

for our community.”<br />
