Flying start for Mid Suffolk Green Party election campaign
22 April 2011
The Mid Suffolk Green Party election campaign got off to a flying start with the news that Councillor Rachel Eburne had been returned unopposed for the Haughley and Wetherden ward. The local party is fielding a record 17 candidates, part of the Suffolk-wide team of 65, also a record.
The Greens team is led off by their three existing councillors, all of whom are standing for re-election. Apart from Rachel Eburne, group leader Andrew Stringer is seeking a third term representing Mendlesham ward, and John Matthissen hopes to continue as councillor for Onehouse ward. They are boosted by the welcome return of Twiggy Davis who is standing to resume representing her local community of Combs Ford (Stowmarket South). Ms Davis brings the experience of 8 years as a District Councillor as well as knowledge gained through a lifetime living in Stowmarket.
Many other members of the Green Party candidate list bring exceptional records of community service on parish and town councils within their respective wards. Their common theme is to offer active representation and to keep people informed.
Of particular note is that every Green Party candidate is seeking to represent the ward in which they live, the only party achieving this : truly they are the local candidates.
