Thank you to all my Byker neighbours who opened your door, sent me an email or gave me a call to discuss how we can work together for a fairer and greener community. I’ve been encouraged by your support in this by-election.
30% of the vote in Byker went to the Green Party, doubling our voteshare from 2022, a strong second. It's clear that more people are turning to the Green Party.
Thank you to everyone who supported us and congratulations to Hayder Qureshi.
Nick Hartley
The by-election was called following the resignation of Stephen Sheraton.
