But it is rewarding and many of our councillors love representing their communities. Despite all the challenging circumstances, Green Party councillors, up and down the country, stand up for our local communities and are a voice for people who need it.

Sign up for to our panel events to hear from some of our amazing Green Party councillors and ask any of the questions you have.
