Green Party Manifesto 2015 A Vision for Blyth Valley

About Dawn Furness
Dawn was born, bred and lives in Cramlington. She has been active for many years
on the cultural scene as a performer, composer, and film producer. Trained as an
opera singer she has taught singing in several schools across the region.
Having studied Physics and Music Technology at Manchester and Newcastle
Universities she graduated from the prestigious EAVE producer training programme
with her screenplay ‘The Funeral Singer’, and has since produced four feature films
and two award winning UKFC shorts ‘Enemy Lines’ and Try Again’.
With active interests in solar technology, photovoltaic cells, and other forms of
renewable, clean energy, Dawn joined the Green Party after becoming increasingly
concerned with the rise of dangerous anti-immigration rhetoric that has divided
communities across the country. She believes these have overshadowed the real
issues facing the country, namely jobs, housing, and the imminent climate crisis, all of
which are a failure of government planning rather than that the fault of migrants.
She is passionate about regenerating the Blyth Valley region of South East
Northumberland, and strongly believes that with a strong Parliamentary voice
championing sustainable economic development, Blyth Valley, already home to the
National Renewable Energy Centre (NAREC), can create hundreds of jobs in the
manufacture and research of renewable technologies, in the insulation of people’s
homes, and in tourism.
Dawn is proud to be the first female candidate to stand in Blyth Valley for almost 20
years and is eager to bring a fresh, cooperative approach to the problems facing her
constituency.
THE GREEN PARTY: NOT LEFT, NOT RIGHT BUT FORWARD!
