Green Party councillors will prioritise funding public transport as well as cycling and walking infrastructure if elected in the local elections. Residents should not have to put up with the region’s under-funded public transport and lack of active travel facilities.
Elected Greens would do everything they could to improve public transport, walking and cycling in the region to help people through the cost of living crisis, improve air quality and safety by reducing the number of cars on the roads.
“People in Stafford & Stone have been hit hard by a dramatic increase in the cost of living, and rising fuel costs are only adding to these difficulties. We need a credible alternative to people using their cars, yet local councils are not doing enough to make this happen.
“Green Party councillors will do everything in their power to develop a sustainable transport plan, which would mean better funded public transport as well as high quality cycling and walking infrastructure.
“It is due to the lacklustre approach of the Tories that people still need to drive in order to access local services and shops. Not only is this bad for our local environment, it also makes our streets less safe and is discriminatory towards those who cannot use a car.
“A public transport revolution is possible and, if elected, Greens will do everything they can to turn that into a reality.”
