Council Elections 2021

We need more enthusiastic, committed and hard-working candidates. We are particularly keen to ensure diversity amongst our candidates.

Candidates must be paid-up members of the Green Party and support its main aims and policies.

We currently have one Green Councillor, Lee Huntbach, but, to propose a motion to council we need three. We know that none of the other councillors will support anything we put forward (Lee has tried!!) so we would like to contest another two seats in May 2121. We have already chosen Lorraine Whitehead to stand in Waterloo. Lorraine has been working hard with Lee in the ward for some time and we have a good chance of winning another seat there. Taking a few things into account, we have decided to go for Dukinfield as well, where we got 32% of the vote in 2019 and came second (to Labour's 47%). With three councillors we could really start to put some pressure on!

This is where you come in! We need:

  • a candidate
  • a leafletting team (at least 6 people)

If you think you have what it takes to be a councillor, please just let me know and I'll send you the information about the hustings. Also, you can contact Lee for a chat about life as a councillor on 07706 748627

We can only make a serious effort if we have a team to deliver leaflets, we'll start with one a month when the candidate is chosen, and one a week in the 6 weeks running up to the election. This is the hard part, but, it works! The bigger the delivery team the better, and all contributions are welcome. Please let me know if you can help with any of the leaflet delivery. We have a small team for delivering in Waterloo who would appreciate some extra help as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you, we've made a good start but there is so much more to do.
