Natalie Louise Vesty

Laura Vesty is standing again as the Green Party candidate for the Upper Stoke ward. When Laura stood in Upper Stoke in the 2022 local election she received 357 votes, and in the 2021 election she received 289 votes. Laura says: "I came to Coventry from North Manchester in 1997 to study at Coventry University and never went back. I’ve lived in the Stoke area of the city since 2000. I joined the Green Party around 15 years ago because I was frustrated with the lack of action from the other parties regarding the environment. I want politicians that take action and prioritise the welfare of people and the planet rather than big business. I play touch rugby regularly and enjoy playing in both a mixed and a women’s team. I have a partner and two children and we enjoy growing vegetables in the garden.
