Green Councillors And Candidates

No one expects you to do everything yourself. Along with local, regional and national training and support, there is the Association of Green Councillors (AGC). The AGC is an independent and autonomous network of around 600 elected Green Party Councillors from every level of local government. It exists to provide support to Green Party Councillors as well as to those aspiring to become elected.
