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, “I’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.”

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
