official campaign launch - Hull and East Riding Green Party

The Green Party’s Hull and East Yorkshire Mayoral election campaign was launched on Sunday 30th March at the Country Park, Hessle.

Kerry Harrison, the local Green Party’s Mayoral candidate for Hull and East Yorkshire, met supporters at the old chalk mill saying:

“This election gives us a fresh start in our communities. We don’t need recycled politicians or the reheated policies of failure. A Green Mayor will do things differently. Once elected, I promise to listen to people across all communities in building a better future. A fresh start is possible.”

Kerry Harrison, wearing jeans and a jacket stands talking to a group of people. In the background, trees and the Humber Bridge can be seen. The people are holding signs which read Vote Green.

Kerry added

“The choice of the old chalk mill as a launch site is appropriate as it connects us to a time when much of the local economy was driven by renewables. The Humber has a key role in developing a green economy. We should be doing more. Further investment in green transport and housing will provide a massive increase in job opportunities.”

Hessle Mill is part of the Chalk Walk heritage trail established to inform about the natural, industrial and social history of the Humber Bridge Country Park.
