Welcome to South Tyneside Green Party

Your local Green Party for all of South Tyneside

Building a Greener South Tyneside for All — we’re committed to protecting our environment, championing social justice, and ensuring a brighter future for every resident. As climate change accelerates, we are ready to tackle this crisis and, as a result, improve the quality of life in our communities.

At the heart of our work:

  • Green Investment in Public Services: We believe in well-funded local services that benefit everyone. Therefore, we support fair wages, better housing, and increased investment in healthcare and education to uplift South Tyneside communities.
  • Affordable, Sustainable Housing: Everyone deserves a warm, secure, and eco-friendly home. Consequently, we focus on making homes energy-efficient, reducing fuel poverty, and ensuring affordable housing is accessible to all.
  • Protecting and Restoring the Environment: We take bold climate action to reduce emissions and restore our natural spaces. By collaborating with South Tyneside Council, we strive to make our borough more resilient and sustainable.
  • Transport for a Healthier Tomorrow: We envision clean, safe, and accessible transport for all. To achieve this, we work to ensure South Tyneside Council policies meet the needs of both residents and businesses.
  • Equality at the Core: We oppose all forms of discrimination and strive to create a borough where diversity thrives. Furthermore, we amplify underrepresented voices across South Tyneside.

Get Involved: Be part of the change! Join the South Tyneside Green movement, volunteer with us, or support our campaigns. Together, we can build a fairer, greener community.

By working closely with South Tyneside Council and our community partners, we can create a fairer, greener South Tyneside. 🌱
