Speaking up for Handsworth
Your local Green Party campaigner
What I Do
Campaigning to keep local amenities and services open, rejecting developments that harm our neighbourhood.
Working on local events and welcoming spaces to build strong community ties.
Litter picking and reporting fly-tipping across the ward, to help keep our streets safe and clean.
Why You’ll Love Greens
The Green Party is committed to democracy and empowering people, to putting people before profit, to undoing the harm that decades of exploitation has caused to our city, our communities and the planet, and to fighting for social and climate justice on a local and global level.
