Secretary/Elections Agent and West Devon Borough Councillor - Lynn Daniel

Hello, my name is Lynn Daniel. I am a Green party councillor on West Devon Borough Council.

 I am a social worker by profession with a specialist qualification in Mental Health. I am passionate about mitigating the climate crisis and this often keeps me awake at night. I am involved in trying to save our local wild spaces in Devon.

 I bought a motion to council last year to ask that they ban the use of glyphosate in the areas they have responsibility for. The full council agreed to pursue this. I currently have a petition asking for Devon County Council to provide leadership across Devon in expecting all verges and hedgerows to be allowed to grow wildflowers to increase biodiversity. I have over 1,300 signatures so far.

I proposed a motion to council to condemn racism in all its forms and wherever it occurs. I was unable to pursue this because of the Corona virus emergency rules.

As long as I am able to, I will fight to get climate crisis mitigation made a priority for those in power.
