"The Green Party are the only party embracing the kind of bold, humane approach we need for benefit of both people and the planet. I am therefore joining the Green Party and will continue working hard for the residents of Priory Vale with integrity, honesty, and a focus on people first.”

Cllr Heath says: “For most of my life I have been a committed Labour voter and member. Recent decisions, such as removing the Winter Fuel Allowance and adopting rhetoric on immigration aimed at appealing to Reform Party voters, means it no longer reflect the values that first brought me into Labour.

Tom added: "It was an honour to attend the Remembrance service at the Cenotaph on behalf of the Green Party and pay respects to all those who have lost their lives in war. We will remember them."
