The Green Party have done well in the May 2024 local elections!
Thanks to everyone who voted for our candidates.
In South Norfolk Suzanne Wateridge was elected to the District Council in a by-election - congratulations!
She will be the first Green Councillor on South Norfolk District Council.
In Norwich City Greens won 2 seats from Labour increasing their number of councillors to 15 (out of a total of 39 seats)
More results coming in across the country are showing several Green wins!
Here are some of the headlines so far
- in Hastings we have grown from four to twelve Councillors - making us the largest party on the council.
- We've seen another breakthrough in Bolton, joining Newcastle, Redditch and Sefton with their first Green Councillor.
- South Norfolk broke through with an impressive 10 votes over The Conservatives - meaning The Conservatives have now lost control. As this part of the Waveney Valley constituency this is incredibly promising news.
- Peterborough, Redditch, Winchester, South Norfolk, Basingstoke, Worthing and Calderdale have all made gains against The Conservatives.
- Conservative aren't the only Party we're gaining on. West Oxfordshire, Three Rivers, Sheffield, and Cheltenham have all made gains against Lib Dems.
- And in Colchester, Exeter, Reading, Norwich and Leeds we have seen gains again Labour.
- South Tyneside has grown to be the strongest ever Green group in the North East.
- We've doubled the number of Green Councillors on Southend City Council.
- We've defended our Green seats on Plymouth and Stockport councils.
