This is the fourth in our series of reports highlighting the manifestos of the political parties in Bolton ahead of Thursday's local elections. Today it is the turn of the Green Party group. Everyone knows that the Green Party is the party of the environment but we are much more than that.

We are the only party that campaigns against the addition of fluoride to our water supply. Fluoridation robs you of your freedom to choose. Fluoride is toxic waste. It is more toxic than lead and only marginally less so than arsenic. This is what the Government want to put in your drinking water. It is illegal under the Poisons Act to administer poisonous or noxious substances to anyone and the Green Party will continue to campaign against it.

We were the first party to oppose the illegal and disastrous war in Iraq and we continue to call for our troops to come home.

We are passionately opposed to spending 25billion pounds on Trident replacement. This is an obscene amount of money to spend on a weapon that cannot be used without permission of the Americans.

How this money is desperately needed to be spent at home, more police to tackle the yob culture, an increase in the state pension to allow the elderly a decent life in retirement.

All the main parties agree that global warming is the biggest problem facing us today. even the climate change deniers admit that oil, gas and will not last forever and will one day run out. Britain is blessed with some of the worlds best renewable energy resources; we should invest properly in wind, wave and solar power.

By freezing the council tax, Bolton council is saying that all services are perfect and need no investment. The people of Bolton are not stupid they know this is not true. They also know the real reason is to attract votes. Wait till next year when there is no election. What will be the tax increase then.

Time for change. on the 1st May, VOTE GREEN.
