June 11th, 2021.

Lewes District Green Party release:


The Green Party of England and Wales has revealed a new team of spokespeople, ready to reach new voters in the lead up to the next General Election, including Councillor Zoe Nicholson as Green New Deal spokesperson.


Following the landmark election results in May, the new team of spokespeople will play a pivotal role in reaching new voters in every corner of the country, putting forward fresh thinking and bold solutions for the problems we face together.

The 13 spokespeople will stand alongside the leadership team as experts with lived experience of their areas of advocacy, and with track records of being embedded into grassroots movements on the ground.

Zoe Nicholson, Deputy Leader of Lewes District Council and Green Party Councillor for Bridge ward, is now the party’s spokesperson for the Green New Deal. As a councillor and first female Green Leader of the Council in 2019, Zoe has led the development of the Council’s strategy on a greener recovery for the Lewes District, including leading on retrofitting council homes for warmer and more sustainable homes, working with colleges and businesses to create local green jobs for the future. As Finance Cabinet member she has spearheaded Green investment bonds and investment in solar and other renewable projects led by community organisations.

Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley accompanied the new spokespeople in Calthorpe Community Garden in Kings Cross, London on Monday 7 June, to celebrate the announcement of the new team.

Bartley said, “When people get involved in the Greens, it’s because we have a deep passion for the issues that we care about.

“Our spokespeople are embedded into networks of grassroots activists and people who have the solutions to the problems we face, whether that’s the collapse of our ecosystems or the brutality of poverty.

“These aren’t just spokespeople, we are megaphones for a movement of people who want real change”

Zoe Nicholson added: “I’m really proud to be appointed to this role, it reflects the pioneering work of our Green team on Lewes District Council in taking action to address the climate crisis and create the conditions for a green recovery from Covid, I’m looking forward to working with so many of the local and national experts in this field."
