New stretch target.
The 2025 County Council Election takes place on Thursday, 1st May. We have a chance to re -re-elect Mark Hood and Paul Stepto as county councillors for Tonbridge, a role in which they have excelled since they first won their seats in 2021.
Both Mark and Paul have lived for many years in the town, and they have been dedicated and hardworking councillors. We need hope in Tonbridge, and our Fair and Green way of doing politics places our community at the heart of our activities.
Green voices represent the interests of residents and the local environment. Your support can get us over that winning line! Our year-round leaflets keep you informed about what our councillors are doing in their areas, what their values are and how they are working hard for you.
Unlike the other political parties, who receive large donations (for which they are probably expected to do something in return,) we rely on subscription fees and a portion of councillor stipend to fund our activities. Other parties can afford TV or billboard advertising or expensive data processing software to reach voters. We cannot - it is not a level political playing field!
All our activities rely on the amazing energy, passion and values of our local resident volunteers. We leaflet and door-knock all year round, but we lack vital money to compete with other parties and get our message heard. We know times are hard but if you can support us with whatever you can afford, you will help make the change our county needs. No matter which party wins the majority at KCC, there will need to be Green councillors to hold them to account.
