Green successes in general election
Not only has the Green Party nationally won an unprecedented 4 seats, but our local Green candidates did extremely well. For details of each of our local candidates click here.
Locally we exceeded all expectations and significantly increased our vote share in Chester North and Neston, where our party chair Nick Brown won 9.2% of the votes. We also retained our deposit (winning more than 5% of the vote) in Ellesmere Port and Bromborough where Harry Gorman achieved 6.4% of the vote. The same percentage was reached by Chris Copeman in Runcorn and Helsby.
We can also be proud of our results in Chester South and Eddisbury – Steve Davies with 4.3%, in Tatton – Nigel Hennersley with 5%, and in Mid-Cheshire – Mark Green with 4.7%.
We are delighted and heartened by the surge in green support locally – well over 16,000 people voted for our six candidates, and the total across the country is close to 2 million. A big thank-you to all the residents who voted and took the time to read our fully-costed manifesto based on shared green values.

The Green Party in Cheshire
Here in Cheshire West and Chester we currently have two Councillors, Chris Copeman (Helsby) and John Roach (Whitby Park). Both are adding a much needed voice to the Council chamber to address critical issues that the older parties are not even discussing.
We’re working progressively on local issues; to improve the lives of all people in Cheshire West and Chester, and to improve our local environment. As part of the Green Party of England & Wales, we share a deep concern for social and environmental justice, expressed through our national policies, we believe fair is worth fighting for.
There has never been a better time to become part of our group as a volunteer. You don’t need to become a member of the Green Party to take part. If you are looking for a chance to connect, do something meaningful, make friends, have fun and work towards a better future, then do get in touch.
Volunteers tend to offer a couple of hours at a time, and there is no obligation to take on more than you would like. Whatever skills you feel you can offer, we would love to hear from you.
Please get in touch and drop us an email at cwacgreenparty@gmail.com and we will get back to you.
