Quite a lot of overlap here with health and local services?

Yeah, and tbh not sure anything really stands out here. There's also the idea discussed at Southbank the other day, to turn London City Airport into a community space, creating green jobs. Sian Berry has set out a very detailed plan for this already, so we'd either have to innovate upon it, or just endorse it: http://www.sianberry.london/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/London_Green_Party_City_Airport_briefing_Jan2016.pdf

I actually like the idea of endorsing a good policy of a rival, its very 'new politics'
