The council elections have delivered a massive growth in the number of Green Party councillors. Co-leader Adrian Ramsay said: “Green councillors are being elected in ever higher numbers across the country and are ready to deliver for their communities.”
You’re an impressive lot so let’s keep up this momentum and get behind our candidates for the General Election.
Let me introduce them to you.

Chesham has been Justine’s home since 1991. As a family they have loved the semi-rural location of Chesham within the Chiltern Hills, the Chess chalk stream running past their doorstep and what remains of our formerly much more vibrant Town Centre.

Gregory Smith became an elected Green Party councillor for Buckinghamshire Unitary Authority in 2020. He is committed to local communities, local business and good quality local services.
