hampshire county council by-election for winchester eastgate – lorraine estelle
Lorraine has been a Green Party member for a number of years. Living in the St. Bartholomew area makes her central to see all the issues which arise in Winchester.
Just recently, upon reading the breaking news that Southampton University had pulled out of redeveloping the River Park Leisure Centre, within 24 hours she arranged for a stall to be displayed outside the Centre inviting local residents to voice their views on what the next steps should be. This proved most successful (read the results here).
Her many involvements in the city include being a volunteer tour guide at the Cathedral and leads historical walks through the city and surrounding area.
Lorraine say’s..’I hear concerns about our throw away culture and that they are keen to see local initiatives to reduce waste and encourage reuse. They want to see greater action to enable
walking, cycling and viable public transport and the use of more affordable renewable energy. By listening to local people and working through our political system the Green Party can contribute
to real change on these vital and urgent issues’.
