The Green Party of England and Wales is campaigning to boost its presence in councils across the north-west of England. Leader Zack Polanski said the party is 'confident but not complacent' about the local elections on 7 May. The party has no control of any councils in the North West, but has pockets of support across the region. Polanski cited the success of Hannah Spencer MP in the Gorton and Denton by-election as evidence that there are no 'no go' areas for the party. The Green Party is focusing on 'stopping Reform in their tracks and replacing the Labour government'. In Greater Manchester, the party has representation on four of the ten councils, with the most support in Trafford. The party is also contesting elections on Merseyside and in Lancashire. Polanski highlighted new policies aimed at revitalising high streets, including affordable leases for small businesses and increased local involvement in decision-making.
