Standing up for what matters
The Green Party is growing fast. We now represent people in Westminster and in a record number of local councils across the country.
Here in Harrogate and District we're working progressively on local issues; to improve the lives of all people across Harrogate District, and to improve our local environment. We are keen to encourage active travel by making roads safer for all. Walking and cycling are good for physical and mental health and improve air quality. We work with other groups and political parties to achieve positive outcomes for everyone.
Currently we are working hard to get a fifth Green Party councillor elected to North Yorkshire Council in the by-election in Stray, Woodlands and Hookstone Division on April 11th. In under two years the Green Councillors at North Yorkshire have brought in real changes including better water quality, weedkiller reduction, lower speed limits, easier active travel, more efficient road repairs, better response to flooding, increased numbers of affordable homes and budget improvements. Green councillors work hard for you.
We rely on people power rather than corporate finance in all that we do. Get involved with us today so that we can achieve so much more for the Harrogate area.
