Support Green Party candidates Steve and Carolyne.

West Berkshire Green Party has announced its local prospective parliamentary candidates for the anticipated 2024 general election

Newbury town councillor Steve Masters will be standing in the Newbury constituency and West Berkshire councillor Carolyne Culver will be standing in Reading West and Mid Berkshire constituency. Both are long-standing campaigners for environmental responsibility, social justice, and economic fairness.

Steve represents Speenhamland Ward in Newbury, and is a member of the Speen Community Cafe committee and a trustee of Eight Bells for Mental Health. He is a visiting lecturer at the University of Winchester, and works for a renewable energy co-operative. Carolyne represents Ridgeway Ward, chairs the West Berkshire Council Scrutiny Commission, and has a background in public relations, journalism and teaching.

"I'm humbled and excited to take on this challenge," said Steve. "As the Green Party candidate for Newbury, I offer a bold, progressive vision for our community. We deserve an MP that tackles the climate crisis head-on, supports working families, and builds a sustainable future for all."

Carolyne said, "It's time for a fresh start after 13 years of Conservative government. It isn't clear what Labour or the Lib Dems stand for anymore. The Greens are focused on securing a sustainable and just future for all: protecting public services including the NHS, ending poverty, and tackling the climate emergency".

Steve and Carolyne have supported their communities through the covid pandemic and cost of living crisis. Steve was instrumental in the creation of local community cafes and warm spaces in the autumn of 2022, and has been a vocal campaigner around sewage in our rivers, homelessness and mental health.

Carolyne was re-elected to West Berkshire Council in May 2023 with an increased majority, and then became chairman of the Scrutiny Commission, responsible for reviewing the decisions, policies and services of West Berkshire Council.

Please donate to their election campaign fund and elect the MPs you deserve.
