Hard-working local campaigner Pauline Wynter has been confirmed as the Green Party candidate for Ashburton and Buckfastleigh in the county council elections on 1 May.

As a parish councillor in Ogwell Pauline works on biodiversity and climate issues, helps with the project to set up a local shop, and has canvassed residents about a boundary change. She runs the parish magazine, keeping residents informed about local issues and events, and is a member of a local wildlife group.

She also works with Action on Climate in Teignbridge.

Pauline says, ā€˜Iā€™m proud of the work I do for the community and hope you will vote for more hard work on 1st May. Please vote for Pauline Wynter.ā€™

At the 2023 district council election in Ashburton and Buckfastleigh, your local county council division, the Green Party missed out on electing a councillor by just 4% of the vote. Turnout in local elections is often lower than in other elections, so your vote can make all the difference.

Your choice in the election is clear: a hard-working Green councillor who stands up for local people and gets things done all year round, or more of the same from the old parties.

Pauline’s priorities

  • Fixing the potholes on local lanes and highways
  • Demand high energy efficiency standards for new housing
  • Focus funding on running basic services better
  • Defend financial support for those who need it most
  • Promote active travel and improve public transport
  • Take action on anti-social behaviour in our community
  • Ensure good access to green spaces and improve our parks
