Lewisham People Before Profit (DEMO)

People Before Profit

We want a council that:

Responds to local people. We would get rid of the all-powerful mayor
Keeps money in the area. We will end all contracting-out of Council services and replace them with direct works departments. We will help locally based business.
Pays a living wage to all Council employees.
Cares for the Environment. We will invest in energy-saving for homes and business, flood defences, bio-diversity, re-cycling, and improved public transport.
Builds homes and schools for people not developers
