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.
We have another our Zoom discussions this coming Friday, 21st February at 7.00
