The Shrewsbury and North Shropshire party covers the Parliamentary constituencies of Shrewsbury and Atcham and North Shropshire.

Every day we are building on the "Green Surge" that has seen our local membership quadrupled in recent years. We now have 6 seats on Oswestry Town Council as well as a Shropshire Council and Town Council seat in Shrewsbury. We can and will win elections because we are the only party with a rational alternative to Westminster politics.

Declare a Climate Emergency!

It's vital that local councils take responsible leadership roles, doing all they can to protect local and global communities and ecosystems - by publicly declaring that we are in an emergency situation, by taking swift and bold action to reverse damaging policies and agreeing a plan to reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2025.

Shrewsbury and Oswestry Town Councils have already taken this step. Together we can let Shropshire Council know that urgent action is required right across our county.

Belle Vue By-election

A by-election for a Councillor to serve on both Shropshire Unitary Council and Shrewsbury Town Council will take place on 25th April 2019 in the Belle Vue area of Shrewsbury.

The Green Party candidate for these elections is Dave Latham.

This is a by-election so the successful candidate will be elected for two years until the next Shropshire-wide elections in 2021. Instead of voting for the same old parties, why not give Dave and the Greens this chance to show you what they can do for Belle Vue?

If you are a resident of Belle Vue, please vote for Dave on 25th April.
