Brighton & Hove Green Party selects well-known local resident and activist Mitchie (Michelle) Alexander as its candidate for the Moulsecoomb & Bevendean ward in the May 2019 council elections.
MITCHIE is currently the Chair of Friends of Farm Green Park, which recently raised over £60,000 for new playground equipment. One of her aims for the future is to see other parks in the ward also get the refurbishment they deserve too.
Mitchie said: “I am delighted to have been selected by The Green Party to stand in Moulsecoomb and Bevendean. I am passionate about working with the community here and love the voluntary work I do in the local neighbourhoods.”
She was one of the core organisers for this year’s BevFest and has helped fund-raise and organise community family events to be held in both Bevendean and Moulsecoomb during this year’s summer holidays.
She continued: “Whilst some know me locally for my fight to try and save The Willows GP surgery from closing down a few years ago, I also work hard on making positive things happen in this beautiful but sometimes forgotten area of our city”.
Greens came fourth in the three-member ward in 2015 behind council leader Daniel Yates.
