Green Party candidate for Bevois
Green Party
Hello, I’m Amy and I’m the Green Party candidate for Bevois. I’m passionate about helping residents and students across the ward, to help everyone get the most out of our wonderful city. When I joined the University I founded the Young Greens Society there, and since I have regularly attended meetings with students, residents and political activists to ensure that we have a strong student voice in the city, but at the same time not one that leaves residents behind, so that we can create the best city for all of us.
