Wendy Attwell
Green Party candidate for Longmeadow
As a Green Party councillor, I will work towards creating a safer and cleaner town, with accessible green spaces so that all Stevenage residents can enjoy nature, exercise and leisure activities. I will encourage more engagement with the needs of our young people, our elderly residents and disadvantaged groups. And I will advocate for further action on the climate emergency, including supporting local biodiversity and the transition to net zero. I’ve seen discontent locally and I want to address this. I want to hear from Stevenage residents on what matters to you, so that we can work together to change our town for the better, to create a fairer local community that supports everyone.
