North West Green Party

Jill Perry officially selected as candidate

16 June 2009

Ms Perry (1) stood in Allerdale Borough Council elections for Crummock ward and gained over 30% of the vote two years ago. Crummock ward is one of three areas moving from the Workington constituency into the Copeland one at the next General Election. She was also selected for the Green Party European list in the recent Euro-election.

Jill Perry said today "I truly believe that Copeland deserves a better future than the one offered by the two main parties - a growing patchwork of radioactivity from Keekle to Kirksanton. The Green Party has the vision to see a different future, a real Green New Deal (2) would work as well in Copeland as anywhere else."

(1) Jill is 52 years old, born in Loweswater, worked in local schools including St Benedicts, Whitehaven (9 years) and Wyndham Egremont (5 years part-time), married with two grown-up children.
