Vote Green in Crookes & Crosspool

28th April 2016

Your candidates

First choice candidate Peter Garbutt has lived in the ward and performed well in debates as Green candidate for Sheffield Hallam last May. Peter is offering practical support to local campaigns to protect healthy trees, including those on Lydgate Lane, Western Rd and Rivelin Valley Rd.

Rose Garratt has also lived locally and is a self employed maths tutor. Logan Robin lives on the Walkley boundary and will represent the significant student population.

Green councillors will work with local people and support the Crosspool and Crookes Forums – so vital for our communities.

1868 people voted Green in Crookes ward last May. On May 5th your 3 votes can elect 3 Green councillors in the new Crookes and Crosspool council ward. Together we will ensure the voices of people here, and across Sheffield, are heard.
