Green candidate Frank Adlington-Stringer said he wanted to deliver a ‘green industrial revolution’ as one of his main priorities — by investing in sustainable growth for manufacturers and communities across the region, with a focus on the environment.
He said he was the only candidate who had committed to bringing the buses back under public control as part of an effort to improve connectivity for rural areas and make transport more accountable.
He also passionately spoke of the importance of lakes and rivers such as the Trent as a place for leisure and business, promising to ask the government “to stop pumping sh*te” into our waterways
“This is a massive opportunity for our region,” he said.
“It’s an opportunity to deliver a strong leader who will stand up for the communities that have been left behind and really speak out against the status quo and business as usual.
“You have a choice — we need someone who has a plan, someone who wants to deliver a green industrial revolution to put us on the map and make sure we are future ready, support our education services, build decent houses, have manufacturers leading the way and make sure we are seen as a future powerhouse.
“Don’t worry about voting for something different, because that is exactly what we need.”
