We, the Hulme Green Team would like to thank everyone voted for us this year.

We also would like to thank everyone who put in time, creative input, proofed, leafleted, were on the streets, commented and advised us. It was a great effort.

But we came second.

And that being the case we congratulate Labour’s Amina Lone on her re-election as councillor for the Hulme ward.

We held our proportion of the vote in Hulme, against a Labour victory in Manchester which saw all Lib Dem councillors standing lose their seats.

The Greens as a party beat the Conservatives into third place for the first time in Manchester and were not far behind the Lib Dems.


If you’re a Lib Dem supporter, it’s not been a good few months, have a look at our policies, have a look at our leader Caroline Lucas.

For Hulme and the electoral process, it has not been a good poll. The turnout was 16.98% which extremely low and the second worst in the city.

83% of Hulme residents didn’t votePolitics is either not reaching residents or its not relevant.

Hulme Green Party will listen and work to address our community concerns as well as working harder to make its message heard.
