After just two weeks in the role, the Labour Councillor for De Beauvoir Ward resigned, meaning a by-election will be held on the 7th July. Tyrone Scott is standing to be the first Green Party councillor for De Beauvoir, with the aim of joining Zoë Garbett and Alastair Binnie-Lubbock who were successfully elected as Green councillors for Hackney in May. 

We have been working hard in the community, listening to people's needs and concerns, and seeking to help resolve problems wherever possible.

We have our campaign and spending plans in place; now we need your support to make them a reality.

Green voices on the Council will provide robust opposition on critical issues where people need to come first, challenging Hackney Council to take more ambitious local action and create a prosperous sustainable future for all. Elected Greens around the country are making real differences to their communities, and it only takes a few Green councillors for change to happen.

WHAT ARE OUR KEY COSTS?

Our dedicated volunteers are out several times a week speaking to voters on the doorstep. But the only way to ensure our message reaches all residents is through high-quality literature, which costs money to print. This includes things like:

• Newsletters
• Posters
• Letters from candidates
• Polling day flyers
• Leaflets
• Election information booklets

Given we are a volunteer-run local party whose income comes from small individual donations, in addition to the very recent local election campaign, we really need as much financial assistance as possible to get our message to the people of De Beauvoir. Every donation makes a difference.
