Something New is a political party dedicated to a vision of a better future for everyone in the UK
Your Candidate:
I’m Paul Robinson, a local business-owner and Godalming resident who wants to protect our greenbelt, our natural environment and vastly improve our transportation system. I also want to improve how we do politics in this country, and make it far more representative, especially for younger people. I hope you’ll get involved too, and consider standing for election where you live.
We believe in:
- building a sustainable and progressive society for everyone’s future, where nobody is left behind
- an open, transparent and accountable government which protects the privacy of its citizens
- taking the right decisions for the long term, not just tomorrow’s papers
- rational and evidence-based policy-making, with less room for special interests and lobbying
In SW Surrey and Waverley we want to:
- provide considerable more affordable housing using existing brownfield sites, and by building upwards before we ever build out into our valuable greenbelt
- improve roads by making it safer to cycle or walk to our local schools or into town centres
- provide a bus service from each town that goes direct to the Royal Surrey Hospital
- increase the frequency of weekend train services
- defend our countryside from the industrial fracking of shale oil and gas
- ensure any increases in Councillor’s allowances are directly linked to wage increases paid to Council employees
- have access to greater powers pushed down to local government via a fully devolved English Parliament within a federal UK
