Cllr Cooper wants to implement 'positive Green Party proposals' at a West Yorkshire level
Kirklees councillor Andrew Cooper has been selected as the Green Party candidate in the upcoming West Yorkshire Mayoral Elections.
If elected, Cllr Cooper wants to make energy-efficient initiatives adopted in all new housing. He says that current Mayor Tracy Brabin has “not achieved her pledges” when it comes to green jobs and sustainable homes.In addition, the councillor says he would make his support for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza clear in his role as Mayor, should he be successful.
“I am supportive of proposals to bring public transport under public control and to develop a West Yorkshire Tram Network. I would call for a moratorium on all new road-building programmes supported by the current Mayor and call for a safe network of routes for cyclists. “The Mayor also has responsibility for Police and Crime Policy in West Yorkshire and has a nominated Deputy. My nominated Deputy Mayor is Mothin Ali, our candidate in Gipton and Harehills in Leeds. He liaises with his local police over crime in his community and I am pleased he is my running mate."
