Linda Ward is the Green Party Candidate for the Kidlington East ward in the District Council elections in May. She's lived in the area for 23 years and served for the past year as a Kidlington Parish Councillor. She's been involved in lots of local projects including Kidlington Development Watch and the Oxfordshire Badger Trust. She's a strong voice for the area and a powerful campaigner.
We now have 3 Green councillors on Cherwell District Council, but we need to grow that number to give us a stronger position in what could become a controlling alliance after the May elections. We came close to taking control last year in an alliance with the Lib Dems and Labour but Labour pulled out of the deal at the last minute. This year we need to be able to form an administration without them so we need every vote.
Now, more than ever, the Green message needs to get out there and people need the opportunity to vote Green in support of our actions against climate change as well as our focus social justice and strong and active local representation. We believe that the climate emergency can only be fought alongside an agenda that ensures social equality and justice for all.
The Green Party doesn't accept donations from large corporate organisations and all our campaigns are grass roots based.
But fighting elections costs money. To send one leaflet to every household in the Kidlington East ward will cost £300-500, but we'd like to send more than one. We also need funds for a myriad of other things that are required to get our campaigning message out there.
Please give what you can, and if possible join us to help make sure the future of Kidlington and the planet is a secure Green and pleasant land for everyone.
