Jonathan Bartley, co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, is to visit West Berkshire Greens in Newbury on Wednesday 26 September.

He will spend the afternoon meeting members and supporters in some of our key target areas where we will be campaigning hard in next May’s West Berkshire Council elections.

Then in the evening Jonathan will speak at a public meeting – full details to be announced soon.

This will be the first visit by a Green Party leader to West Berkshire in recent memory, although Amelia Womack, deputy leader of the party, spent a day campaigning with members in Thatcham and Newbury during last year’s general election.

Jonathan Bartley was elected co-leader of the Green Party, with Caroline Lucas, in 2016. He is currently standing for re-election as co-leader alongside Siân Berry. The result will be announced at the party conference in October.
