Candidate Name: Richard Painter – Green Party
Question Yes/No Additional Comments
Do you support an ambitious recycling plan for council collected waste that will allow the incinerator to close by 2034?  Yes I have been part of a local campaign trying to put pressure on the council to take more ambitious action for some time now.
Do you support making sure climate change is at the heart of council decisions and spending, prioritising the implementation of the Route to Zero plan?  Yes The third anniversary of the council having declared a climate emergency is coming up on June 11, and I am not getting any sense of urgency in their actions since. I will continue to do all I can to apply that pressure.
