He has lived in Leicester for 15 years, is Chair of Woodgate Residents’ Association and belongs to several other local organisations.
Geoff said: "This election should be about long-term issues that will affect our quality of life, including the threat of climate change and the need for a stable economy based on people not profit. We must also make sure public services meet our needs today and in the future. These problems require not just talk but radical action."
He added: “Politicians need to find peaceful ways dealing with problem such as Iraq - and Tony Blair must not be forgiven for having taken this country to war on false pretences."
