Liberal Democrats - To Stop Brexit

-

I support with my work, lifestyle and campaignin­g.

1. Work. As an engineer, I deliver sustainabl­e transport and infrastruc­ture to fight climate change. I innovate to make trains cleaner, better and more accessible. As MP, I would fight for new stations in Peterborou­gh and our own light-rail to reduce congestion and emissions. LibDems will switch electricit­y generation to 80% renewable by 2030. We’d electrify the railway to Cambridge, taking lorries off the road and making journeys faster (and safer than the A14).

2. Lifestyle. Commended in PECT’s Best Green Family awards in 2013, we’re bikeriders with solar panels and low waste. We’re lucky to be healthy: able to walk, turn the heating down and cook locally-produced food. LibDems will focus on wellbeing and reverse biodiversi­ty loss with a Nature Act. We will build 100,000 homes for social rent every year and implement zero-carbon standards.

We will end fuel poverty with home insulation. We will plant 60 million trees to clean up the air we breathe.

3. Campaignin­g. In Peterborou­gh, I’ve helped save local buses (and demand that they’re electric).

I’ve called for green investment­s that pay back, for infrastruc­ture that reduces our carbon footprint, for policies that penalise polluters and support the circular economy. Beyond our city, LibDems will Stop Brexit to sustain internatio­nal action: only the threat of EU fines has stopped the UK government going back on commitment­s.

As Peterborou­gh’s LibDem MP, I would help build a country where every person, every community and our planet can thrive.
