Elections for County Council – 1 May 2025
The Green Party will be standing across Warwickshire and looking to build on its current three seats. Green Party Warwick South candidate Nicki Scott said:
“So many people are turning away from Labour and the Conservatives and looking at the Greens. We’ve consistently proved that Green Councillors work hard, stand up for our area and challenge the Council.”
For instance at the County Council just in the last six months we’ve:
- Stopped the Conservatives cutting £95000 to Youth Clubs which would have meant up to 20 once a week clubs closing.
- Successfully argued against shorter library opening hours and highlighted that preventative services for children, families and vulnerable people support people AND save money. To cut these is a false economy and we would work on strengthening these support services.
- Helped reveal massive over budget and badly managed road scheme on the A46, that we’ve always said had dubious economic benefit. Instead we would focus on providing safe walking and cycling routes to school, work and leisure.
- We spoke out strongly on not delaying local elections. Democracy and transparency are important and we say it how it is, but are also committed to disagreeing well and creating a positive open culture
3 County Councillors, 16 District Councillors, 19 Town COUNCILLORS
With its origins in Coventry 50 years ago, the Green Party of England and Wales has always dared to be different.
The Green Party is the only major political party in the UK that is committed fully to grass-roots democracy and living within our means on the planet.
We’ve always known the power of hard work, good ideas and evidence-based practical solutions.
We’re not just about the environment and social justice.
We work consistently hard on a huge range of local issues from housing, economy, traffic, planning and healthcare, to jobs, skills and services for young people. We’re here to improve the lives of everyone in Warwick District through integrity and good governance.
We rely on local donations rather than finance from huge national conglomerates, like construction firms that want a favour in return for their cash. This means that we can stand up with independent voices for residents of our area.
A vote for a Green Party candidate is a vote for hard work all year round, sensible finances, practical solutions to the issues we face and a strong voice for your area.
