On May 6 voters will choose their preferred candidates for Stroud District Council, Gloucestershire County Council, the Gloucestershire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and parish councils (if contested). We asked each party fielding multiple candidates to write why residents should vote for them. Don’t be taken in by pale green imitations! Voters in Stroud have elected Green Councillors to represent them on the District for 34 years, Green County Councillors for twelve years, and Greens are the majority on Stroud Town Council. We are the fastest-growing party locally. We don’t play politics, trying to score points and outdo the other side. Our communities and the people of Stroud District come first. We cooperate. We know how to stay within budget and get things done.
