Meet Sherief Hassan – the Green Parliamentary Candidate for Hemel Hempstead

Sherief was selected as candidate at a joint meeting of Dacorum Green Party and Three Rivers Green Party.

Sherief has lived and worked in Hemel Hempstead for over 20 years where both of his children were born in Hemel Hospital. As well as working self-employed as a media consultant, Sherief volunteers with Radio Dacorum as a presenter, is on the committee of the Friends of Halsey Field Local Wildlife group, and acts as Child Protection Officer for the Boxmoor Playhouse where he has been a member since 2012.

Sherief has been campaigning for the Green Party in Dacorum for several years and given a commitment to never stop fighting for a clean future for the generations to come.

He said, “Hemel Hempstead is in desperate need of reliable trains and buses – and the situation is getting worse. If our rapidly growing town is to be sustainable, we have to fix this long-term problem now!”

Sherief stated, “This election is being called for one reason: Brexit, a subject of vital concern to us all. However, for Greens the real challenge is the Climate Emergency. As a Green MP I will fight for the right of the British voting public to approve the Brexit withdrawal agreement through a People’s Vote. I believe that the bonfire of regulations and safeguards that are proposed can only harm our fragile environment and continue our failure to meet our much-needed targets.

“We are witnessing a very worrying decline in our environment, oceans, and air quality. We desperately need a Green New Deal to address climate chaos, prioritise renewables and public transport and to deliver a better way of life. Our planet needs people in power who recognise that we are living in a climate emergency and are dedicated to taking action.”
