Susan Grace Hagley
Green Party candidate for Rushmere
Sue has lived in Ipswich since 2015, and before that lived in Barham. She is a retired adminstrator and has three grandchildren. She became really concerned about what we are doing to our children and grandchildren's future in 2019 and became an activist within the climate movement. She is a keen cyclist and would really like to see improvements in the cycle infrastructure in Ipswich. She is part of the Oak Tree community farm. "Recently I have started a weekly Climate Cafe with my friend Tina, and we meet with others who are concerned about the Climate and Ecological Emergency to support each other. I am pleased to be able to stand in Whitehouse and give the residents in that Ward an opportunity to vote for the change that is so desperately needed.
