All the hard work from the Wealden Green Party team paid off and Hartfield ward has turned Green. Rachel Millward, a local resident and environmental campaigner, will now join Cllr. Keith Obbard and Cllr. Patricia Vanegas-Patterson in representing local people on Wealden District Council. Rachel was elected with 56% of the vote.

From Rachel:
“We live in one of England’s finest landscapes, but our green spaces are threatened by unnecessary and badly planned building developments. I will do all I can to speak up for our communities and to preserve the beauty of this land for future generations.”

Rachel’s top three priorities are:

  1. Stop building on the AONB
  2. No more sewage in the river Medway
  3. Protect the Ashdown Forest now
