The Green Party is growing fast. We now represent people in Westminster and in a record number of local councils, as well as in the London Assembly.
Here in Rutland and Melton, following the last council elections in May 2023 we have one Councillor on Rutland County Council but no Councillors on Melton Borough Council. We are constantly looking for additional candidates to stand in future elections to add that much needed voice to the Council chambers to address the critical issues that the older parties are not even discussing.
We’re working progressively on local issues; to improve the lives of all people in Rutland & Melton, and to improve our local environment. As part of the Green Party of England & Wales, we share a deep concern for social and environmental justice, expressed through our national policies, we believe fair is worth fighting for.
We rely on people power rather than corporate finance in all that we do. Get involved with us today so that we can achieve so much more for the Rutland & Melton Constituency
The Boundary Commission for England recommended changes to the make up of parliamentary constituencies for the 2024/5 general election which the government approved in 2023. We now have one parliamentary constituency for Rutland and Stamford and one for Melton and Syston. The Green Party has selected Emma Baker as the parliamentary candidate for Rutland and Stamford, and Alastair McQuillan as the parliamentary candidate for Melton and Syston.
The Green Party Political Programme sets out what Greens are in politics to do: to end the system that keeps hurting the environment and all of us who rely on it – and to build a better alternative.
This Programme isn’t like other parties’ manifestos, it has not been squeezed through focus groups and stripped down according to the latest polling. Instead it has been built from policies proposed and voted on by our members, looking to secure the long term future of the places and people they love.
It’s a vision of a better world, and together we can deliver it.
