Sheffield Green Party

Jillian Creasy was elected as the first Green Party councillor on Sheffield City Council in Central ward in June 2004. In May 2006 Bernard Little joined Jillian as the second Green councillor in Central ward. Across the city our share of the vote increased by 50%. We are now in a position to elect further councillors in a number of wards including Broomhill, Nether Edge and Gleadless Valley.

This year we intend to build on this success.
