Local Election 2021 – Results

Newcastle Green Party received 1400 more votes than in 2019, but unfortunately we did not make the breakthrough we needed to get a Green in the room this time.

If the council election were proportional to the vote share we would have 7 councillors. Almost 1 in 10 of the electorate backed us.

In West Fenham we more than doubled our vote share, up from 11% to 23%, and 2.5 times more people voted Green this time round.

The last few weeks have been so very busy, with so many of you taking time to come over to the West End to canvas, deliver leaflets or Get Out The Vote; we couldn't have worked harder. Newcastle Greens are some very special people. We are excited about campaigning and working hard for the communities we live in and campaign in over the next year and we think we're well placed to make some big gains. If you want to help us make the breakthrough in Newcastle please register here.
