Statement to voters
Gina has held many key roles representing the Green Party during her 30 years as a member: she was formerly a Lancaster City Councilllor and is currently the sole Green County Councillor on Lancashire County Council, where her work campaigning on fracking, responsible investment by the County pension fund, and ending single-use plastics at County level has resulted in real change across Lancashire.
Full statement
In the past she worked for local charities: for people with drug and alcohol issues, SCOPE, and more recently a charity in Cumbria trying to make church buildings more sustainable. Her primary career was in the NHS in public health project management. In addition to being a councillor she now works very part-time as a personal assistant for someone with disabilities.
One of her proudest achievements is playing a key part in getting Lancaster funded for massive improvements to cycling (£1.5 million); and in 2002 daring to expose the City Council's secret decision to give financial support to the nuclear industry (which resulted in her being suspended from the Council for three months although meanwhile re-elected with a bigger majority).
On Lancashire County Council she has been proud to support those fighting the shale gas industry on the Fylde - and to shine a light on the real risks that fracking brings. She does not shy away from meaningful action, and in addition to her numerous interventions and motions at full council and in the democratic process she was arrested and charged for obstruction of the highway in direct action outside the Preston New Road site in November 2017. She lives in Lancaster with her partner; her two sons have mainly left home; she likes dancing and loves cycling holidays.
