Morgan Murphy

Green Party candidate for Ashton St Michael's

Green Party

Our communities deserve better. Better than rising bills, stretched services, and decisions made without local people in mind. Better than pollution, neglected green spaces, and short-term thinking. The Green Party stands for a different kind of politics - one that puts people, planet, and future generations first. We will: Protect and improve local green spaces Push for properly funded public services Support affordable, energy-efficient homes Back local businesses and good jobs Demand honesty, transparency, and accountability in politics Local politics should be about what works for our communities and delivering for people. Labour have neglected Tameside, and Reform have no answers for the local concerns of residents. Vote for hope over fear and division. A vote for the Green Party is a vote for practical solutions, fresh thinking, and real change. It’s time to do politics differently. Vote Green.
