Joanne Clements
Green Party candidate for Shirley
Active on State
I have been asked to stand again for the Green Party after a large increase in the Green vote at the recent by-election. I have lived in Shirley for 30 years, and am a committed and active member of the local community through involvement with a local church, as a treasurer for a ‘Friends of ‘group and supporting research at the hospital. I am passionate about improving residents health and wellbeing, housing, employment prospects, the local environment plus strengthening local communities.
