Lewes District Green Party release:



Lewes District Greens are celebrating a record set of results in Thursday’s local elections, with the Tories wiped out, reduced to zero seats from 19. The Green Party now has 17 seats on Lewes District Council.

Green Group leader Zoe Nicholson said, “Congratulations to our successful candidates. I know they will give their all to address the issues that matter most to their residents.”

"We have won in places we have never won before from the North to the South of the District. People told me that they felt ignored and taken for granted by the Conservatives. A new beginning for Lewes District has begun. Both Newick and Wivelsfield have been dominated by the Conservatives for 50 years and Seaford now has a strong green presence for the very first time.

“Thank you to every voter and campaigner who helped get an unprecedented number of Greens elected here. Our councillors will work tirelessly for a fairer, greener community right across the District.”
