local candidate Will Duckworth.

This was one of only two such visits

Caroline made in the whole of the , showing just how much she is behind Will’s bid to become Dudley’s first ever Green

Party Councillor. Caroline Lucas MP Will Duckworth Caroline Lucas knows all about making history herself. She was elected as the Green Party’s first

MP in May 2010. Since then she has worked tirelessly, fighting the tax evasion practised by multinational corporations that costs the country billions every year, calling for the

Government to make rail travel affordable and opposing cuts that hurt those on low incomes.

Even though she is the only Green MP, Caroline was named the most influential MP of 2011.

Caroline said, "I visited Will Duckworth to lend my support to his campaign. Will introduced me to local residents with poor heating and

insulation, who are being badly let down by their Council .

I know Will is working hard to support everyone in his ward and would make an excellent Councillor. In May, Dudley has the opportunity to get its first Green voice on the

Council – and Will Duckworth is that voice ." Reproduced by kind permission of Dudley News
