In the next general election Alan Francis will represent the Green Party in Milton Keynes
North. Alan is a long time Milton Keynes resident with a commitment to campaigning on
environmental issues.
Alan Francis has lived and worked in Milton Keynes for over 40 years. He was a computer
graphics researcher at the Open University and has been a transport consultant. He has
been a Green Party candidate in ten previous general elections and is a member, and
former chair, of New Bradwell Parish Council. He has campaigned for the East West Rail
Link and against the East West Expressway and has opposed large-scale housing
developments on greenfield sites around Milton Keynes.
Alan Francis said:
“I am delighted to be standing as the Green Party candidate for Milton Keynes North
again. With global warming and loss of biodiversity, we face the two greatest ever threats
to humanity, which require urgent, focused and effective action. At the same time, we are
suffering from a cost-of-living crisis, crippling strikes and an NHS which has reached
breaking point. This is all presided over by a Conservative Government which has barely
managed itself in recent years, let alone the country. It is time for a radical change of
direction.
The next government must tackle the Climate Emergency and must urgently put in place
policies to ensure that the health of the planet and and all who live on it is protected. We
need a Green New Deal to provide sustainable jobs, housing, education and healthcare.
The Tory cuts and bad management over the last decade have had a disastrous affect on
Milton Keynes residents, leading to more poverty, ill health and homelessness. We must
reverse the cuts and create a more equal society where everyone has access to basics
such as food, warmth and a home.”
