Greens delighted by severn ward by-election win

The Severn ward by-election yesterday (June 11) saw Moya Shannon becoming the 24^th Green Party councillor on Stroud District Council.

Moya won with 439 votes, ahead of the nearest rival, the Conservative candidate, who got 425 votes. The other candidates were from Reform (421), Labour (177), the Liberal Democrats (112) and UKIP (5).

Moya will take the seat previously occupied by Labour councillor Richard Maisey, whose death in April sadly triggered the by-election.

Moya said: “I am very grateful to the voters of this ward for putting their faith in me and the Green Party to represent them and I look forward to working for the best interests of the many voices in our community.

“I come to this job with my own particular set of values and goals. The healthy and sustainable use of our local environment and the agricultural, business, wildlife, and living spaces within it, are all very important to me, as are local transport solutions and community energy production. I hope to support people and make a positive difference in these important aspects of our lives.” more here

Poor air quality is detrimental to the health of our planet – not just for humans, but for all living things. Air pollution is a major public health risk, ranking alongside cancer, heart disease and obesity. It shortens lives and damages quality of life for many people and adults and children with lung or heart problems are at greater risk of symptoms.

Thankfully, there are people who care about and monitor the air pollution in towns, cities and countryside – people prepared to stand up to big industry and government and call out bad practice, often with consequences for their actions.

Come and join us for an evening of discussion and debate with guest speakers. Everyone is welcome and the event is free. Can’t join us on the night? Register anyway and you will be sent the recording.
