GREEN VIEW Will Duckworth - working for you in Netherton, Woodside and St. Andrew's Special edition – March 2012 Green Party Leader Backs Will Duckworth For Dudley Last month Green Party Leader Caroline Lucas MP paid a visit to Dudley to show her support for local candidate Will Duckworth. This was one of only two such visits Caroline made in the whole of the West Midlands, 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 ."
