Noel Lynch – long-time East Finchley campaigner

Green Party stalwart and former London Assembly member Noel
Lynch has campaigned in East Finchley for many years.
He is currently pushing for improvements to East Finchley's bus
links, in particular for a new route to the Royal Free Hospital.
Noel said: “London Greens are proposing the cancellation of
Boris Johnson's recent approval of a big rise in bus fares. Boris
doesn't care about ordinary people or the environment.”
Noel has fought to protect East Finchley and other
neighbourhood communities and has been a long-time champion
of small business.

Financial journalist Andrew Newby has had his home in the
borough for 23 years.
He is furious at Barnet Council's weak social and environmental
policies and its refusal to adopt the Sustainable Communities Act.
“Some Green policies are unglamorous, such as better insulation
of private and social housing, but they can save money and give
everyone a better quality of life,” he says.
In Totteridge ward in 2006 he doubled the Green Party vote,
beating Labour and Liberal Democrat candidates. In East Finchley
he aims to beat all other parties and win a council seat.

East Finchley-born Steve Norman is a professional gardener but it
wasn't just the environment which led him to join the Greens.
“I joined because of its policies on animal rights and civil
liberties issues. I am concerned about corporate interests being
given priority over human rights,” he said.
Steve himself coordinated a campaign against greyhound racing,
focussed on Walthamstow track, which has now closed down.
Steve first stood in East Finchley ward in 2005, campaigning
alongside Noel. In that year Noel and Andrew were the top polling
Barnet Greens, with Steve not far behind.
