Andrew Cooper selected as Green Party Candidate for
Huddersfield
Saving Huddersfield A+E a key aim of Greens Campaign
Kirklees Green Party Leader Councillor Andrew Cooper has
been selected as his Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for the Huddersfield
Constituency in the forthcoming General Election.
Andrew was first elected to the Newsome Ward in 1999 and has
been re-elected five times beating all the major parties. He is the Green Party
National Energy Spokesperson.
He successfully campaigned for ‘Welcome to Huddersfield’
boundary markers and for free insulation to over 50,000 homes around
Huddersfield.
Speaking at his selection Andrew said,
“I don’t have to defend a Conservative Government and I don’t
have to defend a Labour Council the only institution I want to defend locally
is the NHS and in particular Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and it’s Accident and
Emergency Services. Winning the Huddersfield seat would send a powerful message
if the new MP was not from one of the establishment parties”
Andrew proposed the initial motion that brought all
political parties together on Kirklees to unite against the Clinical Commissioning
Group proposals and he has been a consistent supporter of the objectives of the
Hands Off HRI Campaign.
“I am full of admiration for everyone who has worked so hard
on the campaign to save our Health Services whether they are seeking change and
funding from National Government or tackling the local Clinical Commissioning
Group on their proposals. We need a new way of sending a powerful message to
whichever Party forms the next Government about what is most important to people
in Huddersfield”
“Of course I am a member of a Political Party but I have
worked with all parties on Kirklees Council on the hung council over the last 17
years. I am used to negotiating hard to achieve tangible outcomes. This is what
we need from a new MP fighting in Parliament to get positive movement on our
Hospital Services."
Good luck Andrew.
