D- Day for Bolsover and Shirebrook

On Thursday the 25th August residents in Shirebrook will be able to give their own verdict on Bolsover Council in a by-election.

The Green Party will be contesting its second seat on the Council. So far our record is played one, won one - and with Ian Musgrove a truly inspirational local candidate we fully expect to continue our 100% record.

It might seem like slow progress but it is starting to dawn on the controlling Labour group that if we can win in both Whitwell and Shirebrook then we can win in any seat on Bolsover Council.

So if you're lucky enough to live in Shirebrook SW turn out and show him your support.

High hopes for Shirebrook

Getting Green Councillors elected to District Councils normally takes years of hard work, building local support and explaining green party policies. My own election in Whitwell was very unusual as I only decided to stand a couple of months before the election was due however I know that my work for Whitwell against Alkane was a very significant factor in getting me elected.

On the 25th August there is a by-election in Shirebrook and the Green Party is delighted to be able to field one of the hardest working and dedicated candidates I have ever met:  Ian Musgrove. However there is no "Alkane" factor but we still finding that residents are genuinely impressed by Ian's refreshing approach and trust him to deliver for Shirebrook.

One green victory deep in Labour territory can be put down to chance, two victories however starts to feel like something more significant. We are all working very hard to make the 25th August a great night for the Green Party in Shirebrook, Bolsover and Derbyshire.
