Senedd21: Megan Poppy-Lloyd | Green Party| Neath

MEGAN POPPY-LLOYD
GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE – NEATH

1. Tell us about yourself:

I’m Megan Poppy Lloyd, I’m a 28 year old chef. I live with my two dogs and a cat. I was born in Newport but found my true home in Neath, where I first moved aged nine. I moved to London to study Politics, then travelled and lived around the world before coming back home.

I have been lucky enough to have volunteered in animal sanctuaries from Abercrave to Goa and travelled widely in Europe working with programs supporting financial rights for artists. I have always been interested in Green politics but meeting my local party and having their support has given me the encouragement needed to run as a candidate.

2. What will you do for your constituency/region if elected?

If elected I would push for regular and free busses in South West Wales on a hop-on-hop-off system, while also working within the Senedd to improve and maintain regular train links across South West Wales. The environment is struggling, as are people’s pockets. Free and accessible public transport is the logical solution to both of these issues.

I would work to end homelessness and home uncertainty by fighting to uphold the Green Party Promise to build 12,000 new homes every year. Housing is a human right and Wales is more than capable of providing homes to all.

Finally, I would campaign for law-making powers on drug prohibition to be moved to the Senedd. Wales understands our countries issues with drugs, Wales should be the one to resolve those issues.
