Vote for a Greener Lincolnshire 

South Lincolnshire is in many ways the poor relation of the East Midlands. Its overstretched public services include:

• police
• youth and community
• health provision

Ashley is currently leading an initiative to start a community car club in the Deepings.

Ashley is also standing for election to Lincolnshire County Council in the Market & West Deeping Ward.

Good News for the Poor 

Ashley actively campaigns on issues of global importance including social justice and the arms trade.

He comments "It is shocking that the EU continues to impose oppressive tariffs on developing countries while insisting they open markets to western imports."

"If elected as an MEP I will campaign strongly for fair trade rules for all."
