The party will present the voters of Heywood & Middleton with an opportunity for a real alternative.

Abi says: “I joined the Green Party because they stand against austerity, and for investment in decent jobs; against fracking and for sustainable forms of power; from the beginning, they have opposed the “bedroom tax”.
