Oxford Greens Manifesto Launch

Oxford City Greens have launched their manifesto for the 2024 Local Elections.

The manifesto, entitled Listening to you: A Green New Deal for Oxford, is based on hundreds of door-to-door surveys conducted by Green Party volunteers across Oxford over the last year. It addresses the key issues raised by residents and will guide elected Green Councillors in their work to make Oxford a fairer, greener and more equal city.

Among the key pledges within the manifesto are:

· Establishing a council-backed letting agency to offer fairer rents and more secure contracts

· Introducing a hardship fund to help those most impacted by the cost of living crisis

· Making the Oxford Living Wage match the London Living Wage in recognition of our city’s high costs

· Investing directly in renewable energy within Oxfordshire

Five themes are covered in the manifesto stretching across the range of City Council responsibilities. These are areas where elected Greens can make a real difference and builds on the successes they’ve already had.
