THANK YOU: Greens Win Again in Castle Ward!

THANK YOU: Greens Win Again in Castle Ward!

On Thursday May 4th, voters across central Colchester re-elected Councillor Mark Goacher for a second term as Green Party Councillor in an emphatic victory over the Conservatives. Mark won with 1374 votes, giving the Greens a majority of 719 over the Conservatives who received 655 votes. Labour and the Liberal Democrats trailed in a poor third and fourth. Mark’s continued success has been attributed to year-round hard work and a positive and responsive approach to residents’ views.  The Greens have won over 50% of the vote in the last two Castle Ward elections, with Councillor Richard Kirkby-Taylor winning another emphatic victory in 2022.  Mark states:

“I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who voted for me and put their faith in me to continue as your Councillor for another term. I firmly believe that the Green Party offers the most positive and progressive alternative to the Conservatives, who have let people down so badly.” 

The full results in Castle Ward were:

Green Party – 1374 votes (50.4%)

Conservative Party – 655 votes (24%)

Labour Party – 492 votes (18%)

Liberal Democrat Party – 206 votes (7.6%)
