A New Team to Take Stoke Greens into the Future.

Members of North Staffs Green Party have followed the lead of the national party by appointing joint coordinators at their Annual General Meeting.

The meeting took place at the Rep Theatre in Shelton and saw Jade Green and Pete Latham elected to the Coordinator role.

Addressing members Pete Latham, who was previously the Chair, said he had enjoyed doing his previous role for the past three years and intended to use his time as Coordinator to ‘ engage with the public’ and get ‘out the message’ about Green politics.

Jade Green spoke about the plan she had developed to ‘maximize the impact the party is able to make’ with its limited resources.

Former Coordinator Jan Zablocki was elected to Chair the local party and, citing the recent floods as an example, said that they should be a ‘powerful trigger’ for people to take environmental issues seriously.

Other officer positions were taken by Martin Bailey, who joins the team for the first time as Election Officer and will also serve as Vice Chair. Rob Griffiths (Treasurer) and Adam Colclough (Press Officer) retain their places, with the latter also taking on the role of Membership Secretary.

Former general election candidate for Stoke Central Adam Colclough said he was ‘excited’ to be part of a leadership team that was ‘strong, united and determined to make an even bigger impact on the local political scene than we have so far’.
