Kyle Chivers is a national award winning young entrepreneur who has resided in North Devon since birth and was educated locally at The Ilfracombe Academy.

Full statement

Kyle believes in proportional representation and the idea that local government should reflect the make-up of the communities they serve:

"How can a council plan for the future when the future doesn't have a seat at the table?"

Kyle is optimistic about the town's future prospects:

Despite the continued threat of global heating on coastal communities, Ilfracombe's prime geographical location and maritime heritage place the community on a good footing to capitalise on future developments as society transitions towards a greener, cleaner economy.

Kyle is standing as a candidate for the Green Party because:

"I founded the Ilfracombe Greens out of the desire to offer people another way forward. I'm proud to see that the group has become a real force for good in the community. It would be a pleasure to have the opportunity to work alongside other Green Community Champions."
