Wyre
Forest Green Party was launched in May 2005. They
have held regular street stalls in Kidderminster and
Bewdley, and they contested the Aggborough and
Spennels by-election on 27th October.
Kate
Spohrer, Green Party candidate in the Wyre
Forest District Council by-election declared
herself very pleased with the result, the first time
the Greens have stood for the District Council.
Ms
Spohrer, an award-winning author of a book for young
people with a Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder and leading authority on educational
matters, recently helped to launch Wyre Forest Green
Party; the by-election was their first electoral
test.
The
by-election, called due to the death in August of
Conservative District Councillor Maureen Aston, took
place on 27th October. Her husband John
Aston retained the seat for the Conservatives. Ms
Spohrer gained 33 votes, 2.5% of the total.
Ms
Spohrer commented:"This was the first
test for the new Wyre Forest Green Party, and we are
very pleased with the result. It shows that local
people want to vote for Green issues, and will do so
when given the chance. We weren't very far
behind the Labour candidate.
"We
will now be working hard to build on this start, and
intend to field candidates in the District Council
elections in May next year, when many more people
will have the chance to vote Green.
"People know
that one more Conservative, Labour or LibDem on the
Council won’t make any difference – their
policies seem to be converging at an ever-faster
rate. But a Green Councillor on the local authority
would make a big difference to local people and to
Wyre Forest. We intend to give local people a
real choice in local elections here from now
on"
