General Election

North Lancashire Green Party covers 2 General Election Constituencies: Lancaster and Wyre, and Morecambe & Lunesdale.

These are new constituencies - or constituencies with new boundaries - since changes as suggested by the Boundary Commission in 2023. The former Lancaster and Fleetwood became Lancaster and Wyre, gaining Skerton and Garstang, and losing Fleetwood. Whereas the Morecambe & Lunesdale Constituency has changed by losing Skerton, and gaining Arnside and Sedbergh. 

You can see more information here on the new constituency boundaries

The next General Election is expected to take place in 2024. Most likely in the Autumn. 

 

Our Candidates for the next General Election

 

 Lancaster and Wyre: Jack Lenox

 

Greens won the most votes and the largest number of Councillors in 2023 across the whole new constituency of Lancaster and Wyre. 

 

Our candidate is Jack Lenox, a Lancaster City Councillor for Bulk ward, and the Green Party's national spokesperson for culture, sport and digital inclusion.

Jack is an award-winning practitioner of sustainable software, and set up the Lancaster Cargo Company, the city’s first electric cargo bicycle delivery service during the pandemic lockdowns. Inspired by this and enquiries he got about where to buy their own e-bike, in 2023 Jack set up E-radicals - a shop in Lancaster city centre selling, and repairing, electric bikes and cargo bikes - which he hopes will help tackle the district’s air pollution and traffic issues, as well as contributing towards tackling the climate emergency.

Jack is a former board member of the Gregson Community Association, and is on the Preston and Western Lancashire Racial Equality and Diversity Council. He is currently the Vice-Chair of Lancaster City Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
