- Use my £71,000 to buy some sheep’s wool loft insulation and put it in everybody’s house to limit heat-loss in winter.
- Provide farms with solar panels on barns and trial new electric tractors with interchangeable quick-release batteries.
- Put solar panels on everyone’s house, so that people get the real meaning of what a kWh means and they become aware of how much electricity things use and perhaps cut down on using things that are very energy-intensive, because they don’t realise how much electricity specific electrical appliances use.
- Put pressure on firms to ban sale of petrol cars sooner than 2030.
- Install electric car charging points at people’s houses, and even if they live in a flat and have to park their car in a communal car-parking spot.
- Provide 1/2-hourly electric busses between Horncastle and Skegness, Lincoln, Louth and Boston – and between Louth and Grimsby, Mablethorpe and Lincoln.
- Put real-time tracking information on busses, as well as Wi-Fi.
- Put a train station at Humberside Airport and create an electrified railway line from Humberside Airport to Grimsby and Market Rasen.
- Create a wind farm just outside Bardney, to reduce further our electricity bills.
- Create an electrical repair shop (because I’m an electrical engineer). This is so that on a weekend, I can try and fix people’s electrical items for free, like their washing machine or tumble drier, or oven or even their smartphone.
- Provide free electrical and fire safety inspections to households, to better enable them to reduce the risk of fire and electrocution in their houses or flats.
- Provide upgraded public toilets in Louth and Horncastle, with investment coming from advertisers who get 10-year advertising rights in the toilets.
- Provide more Changing Places toilets in Louth and Horncastle for disabled people.
- Harness the dam by Tesco in Horncastle, by means of converting the dam into a hydroelectric dam using either Archamedies screw or underflow wheel.
- Provide electric bus recharging points in Horncastle and Louth.
- Plant a million more trees by our county’s roadside AND have them managed by either the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust or the RSPB. I’m a life member of the RSPB!
- Create many more roadside parking places with toilets, bins and advertising.
- Create a high-speed railway line between Lincoln and Skegness through Horncastle.
- Provide much more public electric car charging facilities at car parks within the Louth and Horncastle constituency.
National policies
- Allow only concentrated washing-up liquid, washing detergent, and flavoured squash drinks to be sold.
- Use the French electrical wiring regulations, rather than the British Standard ‘Wiring Regs’ because this is much safer than our own standards, now governed by the IET (Institution for Engineering and Technology). This is to try and make one way of electrical wiring throughout Europe and even the world, so that every domestic and commercial electrician can work throughout the world, which will increase our ties with other countries and reduce the risk of confrontation between countries.
- Convert our natural gas pipelines into pipelines for hydrogen, which burns cleaner and is unlimited by the fact that it is synthesised by splitting water.
- Only allow F1 racing cars to use synthetic petrol, made from renewable sources and not dead plants (which is what all petrol and diesel is made from). This enhances car performance and eliminates the impurities in petrol which produce toxic gases (nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide, NO2 and SO2).
- Only allow A-rated triple-glazed windows to be installed, thus reducing the price of triple glazed windows.
- Make it mandatory for new cars to have installed a national tracker system so that the police can easily locate stolen cars.
- Electrify all rail lines in the UK, or introduce battery trains along the line.
- Eliminate level crossings and replace them with bridges.
- Convert all houses from natural gas to hydrogen.
- Introduce means-tested charges for non-recyclable or compostable domestic waste.
- Streamline the rail industry (it’s so inefficient, including Network Rail).
- Make disabled rail travel more accessible and also provide further assistance to disabled passengers when things go wrong on the railway (e.g. a recent incident where Nottingham station had a signal failure and everybody needs to be bussed in and out of the rail station, by non-accessible busses, and everybody was left out in the rain, soaking wet, waiting for a bus).
- Make it mandatory for train operators to provide free refreshments for rail passengers where their train is delayed by 30 minutes or more. This cannot be done by giving people a voucher to spend at the local station, because this may not be open. Train operators must provide, as a minimum, a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich.
- If trains a delayed more than a hour and the new arrival time at their destination is past 11PM, overnight accommodation must be provided, along with a free cooked breakfast.
- Excel massively our transition on the railway’s signalling system to ETCS level 2 or a higher mode using system version Baseline 4 Release 1 or higher. This will mean more trains, faster trains, less delays and better train service announcements.
- Make it mandatory for busses to have audible upcoming bus stop announcements for the blind.
- Make it mandatory for bus drivers to stop at a bus stop and tell the intending passenger which bus this is, if they see a cane or assistance dog implying that the person is blind, even if they are not sticking their arm out for the bus (because they cannot see when a bus is coming).
- Where real-time bus information is located at bus stops, also make it mandatory for bus stops to announce the next bus that is calling at the bus stop.
