Hello! My name is Ben
Fletcher and | ama
Yorkshireman by birth, a

Engineer for the Financial
Times newspaper. | am
profoundly Deaf and
partially-sighted and | am

British Sign Language.
I’m also a proud member of Wandsworth Green Party. | stood
for the Greens in the 2017 General Election (Putney, 1107
votes) and the 2018 local elections (Southfields ward, 462
votes). It was a huge honour for me to be awarded the Most
Inspiring Candidate award at the 2017 Autumn Conference.
If elected to the London Assembly in 2020,
I will:
1. Work as hard as | can to make the policies of the Green
Party a reality in London.
2. Put my specialist tech skills to good use for the benefit of
the Green Party (for example, tech in buses & trains to
detect how full they are for real-time apps like Citymapper)
3. Proudly represent the Deaf and disabled community who
are currently under-represented in British political life.
Thank you for your support!
