Welcome to Tewkesbury Green Party

I am standing as a County Councillor in Tewkesbury West because I believe in getting things done for our community. As a dedicated Borough Councillor for Tewkesbury South, I’ve already taken relentless action on local issues like fixing potholes, improving play areas, and tackling flooding. I’m passionate about building greener, affordable homes and supporting those in need. I’ll continue to be an independent, hardworking voice, standing up for local people all year round. Let’s make Tewkesbury West a place where everyone thrives and hope wins out over hate.

Hilarie was elected in May 2023 to Tewkesbury Borough Council, where she represents Tewkesbury East Ward (Newtown and Wheatpieces). 

Hilarie has gained valuable experience of how local government works by serving on the Oversight & Scrutiny, Audit, Planning and Standards committees and supporting fellow green Councillor, Cate Cody, lead member for the climate change and ecology portfolio. She is also a Tewkesbury Town Councillor and regularly attends Wheatpieces Parish Council meetings.

Hilarie wants to join GCC so that she can help residents with both Borough and County issues – especially important now that local government reorganisation will see decision making moved from Borough to the new County-based Unitary level.  

She says: “I would be a bridge between local government and parish councils, representing residents’ opinions and following up their concerns. I am keen to work alongside councillors from all parties to pool our local knowledge to better serve our communities.” 

Asked what particular achievements as a councillor she is proud of so far, Hilarie says: “I’ve enjoyed supporting the formation of a residents’ group in Newtown which meets regularly and has an active WhatsApp group which has led to residents feeling more empowered to work together to solve issues.” 

Hilarie has taught maths and science in a variety of schools in England and abroad. She also ran her own after-school tuition centre while living in Milton Keynes and currently does online tutoring for secondary-level students. 

She is a member of the local U3A and enjoys playing table tennis, swimming, cycling, keeping up with current affairs and encouraging birds into her garden. 

Hilarie has been a Green Party member since 2015 and has cared for the natural world and social justice all her life. 

I’m standing as the Green Party candidate for Severn Vale because I believe our community deserves a different approach. We need bold, forward-thinking policies that protect the environment, ensure everyone has enough to live on and that all their work is valued, create sustainable local economies, and improve life for everyone.

From housing and transport to heating our homes, managing waste, and reducing flood risks, there’s so much work to do. But we won’t achieve meaningful change if we keep doing things the same way. We need action, not just words, to tackle the climate crisis and build a fairer, greener future.

As a resident of Tewkesbury for 19 years and working as a horse trainer and volunteer in our green spaces I understand the challenges we face — and I’m ready to fight for a better future.

I’m honoured to stand as the Green Party candidate for Winchcombe and Woodmancote and I want to give voters a clear choice for positive change. Our community needs fresh leadership that puts sustainability, fairness, and environmental protection at the heart of everything we do.

We are in desperate need of community focused solutions for local housing, energy and transport problems which do not conflict with our endangered environment.

As a resident of Winchcombe for 33 years and having worked as a chair of a Housing Association and a local Woodland Trust, I care deeply about our community and believe a greener, fairer future is within reach — if we act now.

I’m proud to stand as the Green Party candidate for Brockworth because I want to give people the option to vote for change; real, positive, sustainable change. Our community deserves leadership that prioritizes protecting the environment, strengthening our local economy, and creating a fairer future.

The challenges we face; like inefficient housing, poor waste management, limited transport options, and the impacts of climate change, won’t solve themselves. We need new, bold approaches to tackle the problems head-on.

As a resident of Tewkesbury and someone who works as a self-employed artist, I care deeply about this community and want to see it thrive for generations to come. 

I’m standing as the Green Party candidate for Churchdown because I believe our community needs a choice that represents genuine, positive transformation. We require leadership that focuses on environmental protection, boosting our local economy, and fostering a more equitable future.

The issues we’re facing, such as inadequate housing, ineffective waste management, limited transportation options, and the consequences of climate change, demand innovative and courageous solutions. It’s time for a fresh approach to address these challenges directly.

As someone who has lived in Gloucestershire all my life and works in community music, I’m deeply invested in our community’s well-being and want to ensure its prosperity for generations to come.

I’m proud to stand as the Green Party candidate for Highnam because I want to give voters a clear choice for positive change. Our community needs fresh leadership that puts sustainability, fairness, and environmental protection at the heart of everything we do.

We urgently need better solutions for housing, transport, heating our homes, waste management, and flood prevention. These challenges won’t fix themselves, and we can’t keep relying on ‘business as usual.’ Addressing climate change is crucial if we want future generations to thrive.

As a resident of Haw Bridge for 22 years and working as a gardener at a care home, I care deeply about our community and believe a greener, fairer future is within reach — if we act now.

I am standing as the Green Party candidate for Bishops Cleeve because I believe our community deserves the chance to vote for real change. Our local areas require a fresh approach that prioritises the environment, sustainability, and the well-being of future generations.

There are pressing issues that affect us all — from heating our homes efficiently to managing water and waste, improving housing, transport, and addressing flooding. We can’t afford to keep doing things the same way. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges we face, and I believe strong leadership is needed to drive positive change.

Having worked as a librarian in Gloucestershire for over 30 years,  I understand the needs of our community. Now is the time to act — to create a future that works for people and the planet.
