Previous CandidateChange Maker
Paul Binns
Green Party candidate for Tyldesley & Mosley Common
Green Party
For over 20 years I’ve worked with local communities and national governments worldwide to deliver life saving treatment to children. I know how to listen to what people want and help them get the government policies they need. I’ve lived in Tyldesley for 6 years and was drawn here by its warmth and community spirit. As a Green Party Councillor for this area I would bring my principled commitment to hard work and problem solving for all residents in our community.
