Welcome to the Website of Bristol Green Party
This is the online hub for Bristol Green Party (BGP) activities.
Here you'll find news, policies, ward and city-wide issues, an events calendar, and how to contact us.
The Green Party is growing. We now represent electors in the European and Westminster parliaments and in many English local authorities, including the London Assembly.
Here in Bristol, we're now recognised as a party group on the City Council, since Gus Hoyt (Ashley) joined Tess Green (Southville) at the Council House
In Bristol we're working progressively on local issues; to improve the lives of all people in the city, and improve our local environment, have a look at our 11 Point Plan For Bristol
As part of the Green Party of England & Wales, we share a deep concern for social and environmental justice, expressed through our national policies, we believe Fair is worth fighting for.
