Welcome to Chichester & Arun Green Party

Your local Green Party for all of Chichester & Arun.

Here in Chichester & Arun, we have one County Councillor and five District Councillors as well as representation on Chichester City Council and on Parish Councils around the local area. Our Green Councillors add a much needed voice to the Council chamber to address the critical issues that the older parties are not even discussing.

We’re working progressively on local issues; to improve the lives of all people in Chichester & Arun, and to improve our local environment. As part of the Green Party of England & Wales, we share a deep concern for social and environmental justice, expressed through our national policies, we believe fair is worth fighting for.

We rely on people power rather than corporate finance in all that we do. Get involved with us today so that we can achieve so much more for Chichester & Arun.

Each month, local Green Party members meet for an informal online chat, related to Green Party policy. You are invited to join us for the next discussion:

Friday 21 March, 7pm-8.30pm

Topic: local rivers

Including a short presentation from: Steve McAuliffe

Steve is one of our Arun district councillors. He is an ex-British Army Air Corps soldier and a retired ecologist, arborist and environmental management consultant. He graduated from the University of Sussex with a BSc (Hons) in Ecology and Conservation and recently attained a Master of Research Degree from the University of Brighton in Behavioural Ecology specialising in protected species legislation and anthropogenic impact mitigation. Steve also represents Arun District Council on the South Downs National Park Authority.

This event will be a chance to listen, learn and understand, not a debate.
