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 />

Thursday October 21st<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 />
