Tony Arthur Park

“Tony has lived in Norwich since 2009 and has been a member of the Green Party for nearly 30 years. He has previously been a Green Party councillor in Dereham, having been elected to Dereham Town Council three times and to Breckland District Council for one four-year term.”

“Tony ran a wholefood shop in Dereham for 17 years until 2002. He was chairman of Dereham Chamber of Trade for two years. He also co-wrote the proposal that brought the local “Nipper” bus service to Dereham. He now runs an organic veg-box scheme based here in Norwich.”

“He has chosen to stand to represent the Green Party because he feels impressed by the caring and responsive manner with which it tackles issues facing our community today. He is particularly interested in supporting local businesses and shops to help make our local community more vibrant. He believes that the old saying ‘think global, act local’ is still relevant today and his actions are a testament to that.”

“He has been pleased to champion a more holistic, sustainable way of life and would be proud to represent the Green Party again on a local council.”

“When not campaigning, Tony can be found playing table tennis, performing music, or out trying to learn birdsongs on the meadows by the River Wensum.”
