Welcome to the Thirsk & Malton Green Party. We exist to get Green Party policies put into action by campaigning and by getting people elected at all levels of government. We also run meetings where you can discuss policies and get to know other like-minded people. We sincerely believe that you’ll enjoy working with us for a better world.
Thirsk & Malton Green Party was restarted in the autumn of 2014 and took part in the 2015, 2017 and 2019 Parliamentary elections. We have contested elections for North Yorkshire County Council and Ryedale District Council. Several members have become town or parish councillors. The party put up a number of candidates for the North Yorkshire Council election in May 2022. All got creditable results, and Dave Whitfield was elected councillor for Sowerby and Topcliffe.
Right now, we’re campaigning to take that seat again. Sadly Dave Whitfield has suffered severe health issues since his election, and was forced to resign. With support from the region and neighbouring Green parties, we’re running a vigorous campaign. Look at our campaign page for more information.
You can come and join our meetings without commitment. But if you’d like to get fully involved, please join the Green Party. Go to the information on the national Green Party for more details.
