AIMING TO CREATE A SAFER, CLEANER CITY FOR EVERYONE

I am standing as a Legalise Cannabis Alliance candidate for various 
reasons, most of which derive from my long-held belief that it is wrong to 
punish people for using a plant.

It is very relevant to a very large number of people in Norwich who live in 
fear of arrest.  I also believe that people should be able to live in 
Norwich without fear of pollution.

Norwich is a beautiful city, cultured, historically attractive, with much 
to offer.  However, it is a relatively small city and we should not have to 
endure the worsening problems of pollution.

The gases emitted from vehicles passing through or driving round the city 
and the pollution from certain factories, are a health hazard that must be 
dealt with as a priority.

If I win this election, I will be in a position to try to help create a 
cleaner, safer city.

By the way, I do not smoke cannabis.  I do not like it.  But that is my 
personal choice and I cannot see why someone else should be punished for 
making a different choice.
