I’m Mike Dunn, your local Green campaigner for Long Ashton ward.

Full statement

It’s been great becoming a part of the community over the past few years and getting things done for our local area. Here’s some important information you should know ahead of the
election in a few weeks.

I have the skills for the job – and the track record to prove it:
I’ve lived in the local area since I was a kid. I’m a self-employed researcher and designer, as well as a parent to a young child at a local primary. I’m a Parish Councillor for Long Ashton & Leigh Woods, and have made it my goal to truly listen to the local community and represent their needs. I was also one of the organisers of the campaign against Epic’s HQ, after Long Ashton’s overwhelming vote against the proposal. As both a Parish Councillor and campaigner, I’ve stayed closely involved in shaping the new developments coming to our area.

I’m always free to speak up for local residents:
Unlike other parties, the Green Party doesn’t tell their councillors how to vote. This means I can always put you ahead of party politics and stand up for the local community. Greens are not made to toe a party line or told how to vote by a national party. I can always speak up for what’s right for residents in Long Ashton, Failand, Wraxall and Leigh Woods.

I can win here:
Our outgoing councillor Stuart McQuillan is a Green. He was elected in 2019, and
re-elected in 2023 with an increased share of the vote. If you vote for me you’ll be voting to continue Stuart’s six years of hard work for our area.
