The Centre Party
election program in Espoo - Shift to the Centre.
The Centre offers a constructive alternative to the current situation in regional and municipal elections.
Our election program emphasizes the basics of everyday life:
A smooth and safe everyday life, supporting the growth of children, work, entrepreneurship and caring.
Five Election Promises
The Centre Party in Espoo works to ensure that you can live a good and meaningful life in a safe and well-served city. If you wish, you can truly influence the development of our city. Our goal is to make sure that all the essential services you need are close to you. We give you five election commitments.
FIXING ESPOO SCHOOLS
The Centre Party in Espoo is committed to ensuring that every child in Espoo has access to a daycare place near their home and that local schools remain the primary choice for education. We will ensure that students in Espoo are taught by qualified teachers and that there are enough secondary education places. The city’s curriculum must be improved so that as many students as possible gain the necessary knowledge and skills for life.
A PROMISE OF NEARBY NATURE
The Centre Party in Espoo is committed to ensuring that all residents have access to nearby nature within a short and accessible walking distance. Urban planning and construction must safeguard local green areas. Espoo should be a pioneer in nature-oriented urban planning that combines modern living with a connection to nature. The city must invest in nature services and guide residents on how to enjoy outdoor spaces. Espoo residents should also take responsibility for their local nature and its upkeep.
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH FOR ESPOO
Espoo Keskusta is committed to managing the city’s growth and listening to residents’ opinions in new construction projects. Development must be on a human scale, meaning diverse housing options and sufficiently spacious residential areas. The self-sufficiency of Espoo’s major districts in terms of local employment must be improved. The city should use its planning authority for the benefit of its residents.
FIRST JOB GUARANTEE
We are committed to proposing that securing employment for young people and recent graduates becomes the primary goal of the city’s employment services. A job guarantee must be established, ensuring that collaboration between the city, businesses, and the third sector provides young people with their first job opportunity. While young people themselves have the primary responsibility for finding employment, the city must support their integration into society through internships and first-job opportunities.
TOGETHER AGAINST LONELINESS
We will take action to ensure that policymakers, the city, the third sector, and residents work together to reduce loneliness and promote a sense of community through concrete actions. The elderly must not be left alone at home, young people must have access to recreational activities and support from trusted adults, and working-age residents should have opportunities for hobbies, social connections, and diverse cultural experiences. Caring for others is the responsibility of every resident.
