Can you help Exeter Green Party win our first ever Green County Councillors?
Exeter Green Party : call out for supporting roles
To win more councillors, we need people to step into roles that support the Executive in doing all the things that are needed to win our first ever Green County Councillors. Most of these roles can be shared. Where people put themselves forward, members will vote for people taking on these roles at the upcoming members meeting, which will include a short Extraordinary General Meeting on Wednesday 18th September 6.30pm
