We are part of the Green Party of England and Wales, a political organisation and movement that aims to create a just, equitable and sustainable society through the electoral system and through campaigning on local, national and international issues. We offer fair, green solutions to the crises facing us around the cost of living, in our public services and in our climate.
North Lancashire Green Party covers the Lancaster and Wyre districts, including Morecambe, Carnforth, Garstang, Fleetwood, and the Lune Valley. We are one of the most successful local parties within the Green Party of England & Wales.
Our first 5 Green Councillors were elected to Lancaster City Council in 1999. In the 2023 Local Elections we won 21 (out of 61) seats.
Greens won the most votes and the largest number of Councillors in 2023 across the whole new General Election constituency of Lancaster and Wyre, where we aspire to get Cllr Jack Lenox elected as a Green MP. If you live in the Constituency, we'd love to know your views on our policies and any other issues which matter to you to help us set our priorities for taking action. Please help us by filling in:

Jon Barry was Lancaster's first Green Mayor in 2015/16, and Abi Mills will be the next in 2024/25. Cllr Gina Dowding, a City Councillor (since 1999), County Councillor (since 2013) and our General Election Candidate for Morecambe and Lunesdale, was also (briefly - before Brexit!) a Green Member of the European Parliament for the North West.
We have been part of a shared administration of Lancaster City Council with other political parties since 2019. Cllr Caroline Jackson was the first Green Leader of the Council from 2021-23, and she is currently the Deputy Leader. We have 4 Councillors in the Cabinet (with the portfolios of Finance, Housing, Climate Emergency, and Economic Development) along with 5 Labour and 1 Liberal Democrat Councillors.
We have pages on What we Stand For and Our Achievements, as well as our vision and priorities for a fairer greener Lancaster District in our Local Manifesto.
You can find out more about Councillors, and the Executive Committee who run the local party, and our People page will also link you to our candidates for any recent or upcoming elections.
We are a very active, effective and friendly group - always happy to welcome people to open events, and hear from new members, supporters and volunteers. If you'd like to Get Involved please do!
See our Fundraising page for information on how to help us raise funds to employ a Campaign Organiser and get MORE Greens elected to all levels of government in North Lancashire.
Quick action by Cllr Sally Maddocks on flood alert in Glasson
Last week’s spring tides were far higher than predicted, concerning local residents and boat owners in Glasson. Councillor Sally Maddocks, who represents Ellel, lives in Glasson village, and seeing the high water level, immediately contacted the Environment agency and the Canal and River Trust; and also reported to Lancashire County Council missing ’road liable to flooding’ warning signs. In response, Lancashire County Highways temporarily closed the road for the next tide, and put up temporary flood warning signs.
