Adam works as a town planner, having qualified with a Masters in town and transport planning. He says, “Given the traffic and housing issues in Eirias, I’m glad I can get stuck in and use my expertise to help the community.” I live on Abergele Road and use the same roads, shops and services as you. My regular ‘Messenger’ newsletter has kept residents up to date with what’s happening – whether that’s cleaning up our green spaces or improving our roads.
Jo-Anna is a schoolteacher who works in Old Colwyn. She says, “Talking to families really helps me understand the area's long-standing issues. It’s clear we need to be looking after our green spaces.” In addition “I come from a family who run a number of small local businesses so I’m also passionate about supporting our local economy”.


Dan Hunt - Llanllyfni
I'm a local small business owner and smallholder. I'm standing because I'm convinced of the need for a green voice in every room and as part of every discussion. I'm passionate about changing how we produce, sell and eat our food in response to the climate emergency we're living through. I want to increase access to more sustainable types of food and the opportunities to produce it from scratch. I believe doing so will create more resilient, joined-up local communities which are able to thrive in the future.
Petra Haig - Conwy


Alex Collins - Llanfair / Gwyddelwern
I have lived in the Ward of Llanfair / Gwyddelwern for the last 6 years (although have actually spent over two thirds of my life living in the Vale of Clwyd), my wife is actively involved in the community green space project at the old Llanfair primary school & my own personal project is the rewilding of 40 acres of fields and woodland into a protected & nurturing space for all native forms of flora, fauna & fungi.
I am well aware of the importance of farming & tourism for the Vale, and should I be elected, I would like to encourage more sustainable (and possibly even more productive) practices to both activities.
Other actions I would like to see happen in the local area are more mentoring opportunities that young adults can benefit from, increased opportunities for those who have difficulty finding gainful employment, community action groups, wildlife corridors, and promotion of the positive connections between nature and mental health.
I am representing the North West Wales Green Party in these local elections in order to give people an alternative, it is clear to me that we cannot continue to treat this, our only planet quite the way we have done and I believe a strong Green presence is required in Government in order to help us achieve something close to Net Zero by 2050.
The Green party has a very important story to tell and that story needs to be heard.
