Greens select candidates for 2019 elections in St. Peter’s & North Laine ward

Brighton & Hove Green Party selects its candidates in the St Peter’s and North Laine ward for the May 2019 council elections.

COUNCILLORS Pete West and Lizzie Deane have been selected to stand, along with Party Chair Sue Shanks, who has also previously served on the council and led on education.

Sue Shanks said: “I’m delighted and honoured to have been selected for St Peter’s and North Laine ward. Congratulations to my fellow Green Party candidates, and thanks to Councillor Louisa Greenbaum for her dedicated service to the ward and the city, as she will not be standing in 2019 due to work and family commitments. We hope to see her back on the council in the future.”

Cllr Pete West, who was elected 22 years ago in 1996 as the first Green Councillor in Brighton & Hove, added: “I am delighted to have been selected once again as the Green Party candidate for St Peter’s and North Laine. Along with my fellow Green candidates, we bring both consistency and credibility from our long collective experience as councillors serving the people of Brighton & Hove. In the May 2019 elections, we will be united in standing up for a city that truly represents all its citizens, and we are bursting with ideas for a bigger, bolder, greener vision for Brighton & Hove.”

Green candidates for other wards in the city will be announced shortly.
