West Devon Green Party is delighted to be fielding thirteen candidates, more than ever before, in the local elections on 4th May.
The first-past-the-post electoral system makes it difficult for smaller parties, so we’ve worked with green-minded Independents to share wards and not compete for the same votes.
Campaign Manager Judy Maciejowska said: “Voters across the Borough will now have the opportunity either to cast their vote for the Green Party or for a like-minded independent candidate.
“Four years ago, two Green Party Councillors were elected. This time we’re on track to increase our numbers substantially and, together with independent Councillors, become the majority group on the Council.
“Our Green Party Councillors will work to protect and enhance the rich biodiversity of West Devon, expand public transport, especially for cyclists and pedestrians, and improve the quality and quantity of housing in the borough. West Devon’s homes should be for families who want to live and work here, and Greens will ensure good, secure accommodation for residents.
“After more than 20 years of Conservative control our natural environment, our housing and our communities are in crisis. Greens have shown how we work with people to tackle the issues that matter to them, rather than the interests of big business. It really is time for a change”.
