Across the country the Green Party is predicted to make over 100 gains.
Commiserations to all of the Green Party candidates who were not successful, in particular to Kate Nikulina in Redlands Ward who worked hard over the year and came very close to being elected. Well done to Mike Harling in Thames Ward. And well done to Merv in Wokingham who came in a respectable second place in Sonning ward.
Once again thanks for your support and let us know if we can help.
Best wishes
Rob
