Good Green news for Newcastle, for the North East, for Green Party of England and Wales. What a strong, articulate group, standing up for better futures in their communities and beyond
I’m so thrilled to see Sarah Peters elected to represent the residents of South Jesmond.
Two becomes three for the Newcastle Green Group!
Now we really are a group. Sarah will be a fantastic, hardworking councillor I have no doubt!
