A big thank you to everyone who voted Green in the local elections on 2nd May. We are thrilled that Kemal Çufoğlu was elected in Castle Ward with 1247 votes and 44.5% of the vote share. Kemal has joined Green Cllrs Mark Goacher and Richard Kirkby-Taylor on Colchester City Council. Kemal says:

“Since coming to Colchester from Cyprus aged 18, I have sought to create a brighter future in our shared city. Getting elected is the most humbling recognition and I am immensely grateful for it and for the wonderful doorstep chats I have had.”
