• Housing

Matthew Pennycook: I’ve held over 100 advice surgeries since being elected in May 2015 and housing issues have dominated every single one. If re-elected I will continue to demand bold action to tackle the housing crisis and to ensure that regeneration locally is socially inclusive and benefits local residents. Labour will invest to build over a million new homes and by the end of the next Parliament we intend to be building at least 100,000 council and housing association homes a year for genuinely affordable rent or sale. That would make a real difference to the housing crisis locally.

Caroline Attfield: We need more affordable homes. Instead, Greenwich and Lewisham councils keep allowing more and more tower blocks of luxury apartments that seem to be aimed at buyers from abroad. They should be building more homes that people can actually afford, and Theresa May's plans would encourage them to do just that.

Chris Adams: We are introducing greater rights for local communities to appeal housing developments which go against the approved local plan, and which would help prevent big developers reneging on their commitments to provide affordable homes. We would also provide for more borrowing to allow local authorities and housing associations to build council and social housing instead of relying on private developers. To prevent buying purely for investment we would enable local authorities to levy up to 200% council tax on ‘buy to leave empty’ investments from overseas. We would also introduce a ‘Rent to Own’ model for those who cannot afford a deposit, enabling tenants to own an increasing state in their property through rent payments, and give tenants first refusal to buy the home they are renting at market rate, if the landlord decides to sell during their tenancy.

Daniel Garrun: The first thing is to introduce rent controls. Big developments like Crossrail are great but they can send rent prices skyrocketing and that forces people out and can split up families when, for example, young people leaving home can’t afford to rent in the area they grew up in. So rent needs to be controlled to an extent. We will also introduce mandatory licensing to stop rogue landlords and create a union for renters to help them fight evictions and terrible conditions. The Green Party is also promising to build half a million socially rented homes, stop estate demolitions, bring back housing benefits for under 21s and end the cruel bedroom tax once and for all.

• Brexit

Matthew Pennycook: Like the majority of those living in Greenwich and Woolwich, I voted ‘Remain’ on 23 June 2016. However, I accept the close but clear UK referendum result. I have been fighting for the maintenance of barrier-free access to the single market, to retain all the rights – workers’, environmental and human – we currently enjoy as members of the EU, and for a close and collaborative future partnership with the EU 27. I led for the Opposition on amendments to the Article 50 Bill to increase Parliament’s grip on the Brexit process and to secure the residency rights of EU nationals who have made their homes in our country.

Caroline Attfield: I have French family, speak fluent French and stood for the European parliament in 2015. But I felt the EU needed reforming, particularly after the fallout from the financial crisis. They didn't offer us enough change before the referendum vote, which is what convinced me to vote Leave - along with many others. Now we need Theresa May to get tough on our behalf and secure the best deal for Britain.

Chris Adams: I am pro-EU and against Brexit. I will continue to push for British membership of the EU as the best deal for Britain, and where this is not possible for us to retain as many benefits of EU membership as we can.

Daniel Garrun: Personally, I think it was right to give people the chance to say ‘you know what we’re not happy with the state of the EU and we want to see some changes’. What I don’t think was right were the lies people were fed when they were told that all our problems are the fault of foreigners taking our jobs or meddling in our affairs. People should get the chance to vote in a second referendum once the terms of the deal have been agreed and are on the table. And how about giving 16 and 17 year olds the vote? They can fight in the army or care for their relatives, why shouldn’t they get the chance to vote on a deal which will affect them for 70 years maybe more?

• Environment and air pollution?

Matthew Pennycook: We must ensure a fair transition to a low carbon economy, and look at how we can drive the expansion of the green industries and promote the high-skilled jobs of the future. I believe using a National Investment Bank to invest in public and community-owned renewable energy, promoting emerging technologies such as carbon capture and storage and supporting an energy mix including renewables, nuclear and green gas can help to achieve this goal. On environmental protections, much of our current regulation in this area, including on important issues such as air quality, soil quality, biodiversity and waste and recycling, originates from the EU. I believe we must defend and extend these environmental laws and protections. I’ve worked alongside community groups to press for a clean, green Enderby Wharf cruise liner terminal, to oppose plans for a Silvertown Tunnel and to secure an IKEA that actively promotes public transport use.

Caroline Attfield: Air pollution from traffic congestion is a real problem, and reminds us how important public transport to our area. However, local commuters need a much more reliable service and I'll campaign strongly to bring that about.

Chris Adams: Air pollution is a major problem in Greenwich and Woolwich: we have some of the highest levels in London. Sixteen local schools already suffer from dangerously high levels of air pollution. As a result I am opposed to the Silvertown tunnel and the Enderby Wharf cruise-liner terminal unless clean, shore-based power is provided. These would bring yet more pollution to the area, and yet there are no accompanying plans to significantly improve air quality. Instead of providing further reasons for people to drive through our local communities, we should be investing in better public transport links and sustainable developments.

Daniel Garrun: (Deep breath) We need urgent measures to replace energy from coal, oil and fracking and we need to shift those jobs into renewable technologies like wind and solar while also investing in proper smart grids and reliable renewable energy storage systems. I’ve been working with worried residents to get the old drydock ponds in Woolwich cleaned up as the Coots have all had chicks and the water is choc a bloc with rubbish. On the Peninsula we’re fighting developers who want to build a 20 story tower block that will cast such a large shadow over the Ecology Park that it will literally kill the whole ecosystem. Nationally the Greens will pledge a new Environmental Protection Act, protect the Green belt and safeguard all of our rights to a clean and thriving environment.
