The Green Party says it has more female candidates standing than in any previous Worcester City Council election.

The candidates standing in the May 2 local elections were revealed earlier this week.

The Greens have 35 candidates standing across all 16 wards in the city - including 19 women.

Clare Wratten, election agent and candidate for St Nicholas, said: “I’m delighted to unveil our team of fantastic Green Party candidates ready to represent communities across Worcester in the council elections on Thursday, May 2.

“We are the only party standing more women than men in this election, and the most women in the long history of our city.

“When you vote Green on May 2, you will get hard-working councillors committed to doing the best for local people and putting forward solutions to help create a fairer, greener community in Worcester.”
