The Green message to put people and planet first is being heard, with more than 800 councillors elected across the nation. We are continuing to build momentum as we fight for four Green MPs to represent social and environmental justice in Parliament.
We had success in London with the re-election of three London Assembly members who will continue to hold the mayor to account. Thank you for voting Green in the London Local elections and the Brentford West by-election in May 2024. We will return again in 2026 to fight for Hounslow’s first Green councillor.
Freya Summersgill was the Green Party candidate in the Brentford West by-election on Thursday 2 May 2024 caused by the unexpected resignation of Lara Parizotto, the former Labour councillor.
Freya is a Brentford resident who will engage her passion, professionalism and practicality as your local councillor. Freya has a PhD in civil engineering and decades as a volunteer with young people. She stands for the Greens, the only party committed to social and environmental justice for all.
Our 2024 local manifesto can be found here. The Greens polled strongly. The full results can be found here.
Zoë Garbett was the Green Party Mayoral candidate in the election also on Thursday 2 May 2024.
Zoë will continue the current work of the Green Party in London to tackle issues across the city: "Londoners need a campaigning mayor – who will stand up for them, fight back against austerity and fight for more rights. We understand the issues facing Londoners. We are ready to take action. It’s time for political change and we are ready.London desperately needs a Mayor that understands the issues that most Londoners are facing. It needs a Mayor who knows that for this city to work, it has to work for everyone."

Chas Warlow stood for the Green Party in the South West London constituency in the London Assembly elections, also on Thursday 2 May 2024.
Chas is one of five Green councillors in the London Borough of Richmond. Before he became an active member of the Green Party he was involved in community energy projects, helping residents save money and energy. Chas says: “I got into politics because we need to create a future for future generations. It’s that positive vision that people are crying out for – because we all know that time is running out”.
