The Environment

I have supported Government Bills on Clean Neighbourhoods. 
The problem of chewing gum on pavements occurs nationwide and I hope that education and widespread awareness of the problem and the need to avoid it will preclude the expense of the complicated cleaning of our streets.

I am a supporter of waste re-cycling 
... and feel that the most effective way of doing this is to put the responsibility onto individual householders by limiting the volume of unsorted waste that can be collected.

I am a keen bird watcher and I will support methods of agriculture and countryside stewardship that promote the return of our declining species such as the skylark and lapwing. 
I support the work of local and national wildlife organisations and charities.

Phone masts are a continued worry to many people and I will press for a critical, independent examination of all the evidence of their health risks associated with phone masts so that planning decisions can be made based on firm evidence of risk. 
It is impossible ever to prove a complete absence of risk and hence we may have to accept a balance of probabilities but it would be wise always to seek sites for masts away from schools, nurseries and playgrounds.

Global warming which is now recognised as a devastating reality has to be tackled. 
Britain's Kyoto target must be achieved before the deadline.
