Neil Doolin is the newly elected Green Party councillor for Church ward in Sefton
Neil Doolin made history earlier this month when he became the Green Party 's first ever councillor in Seton.
The reasons for Labour's defeat in Church ward are certainly worth investigating but Cllr Doolin would also like to focus on the achievements of the Green Party. He joked: "Labour can do their own soul-searching. Neil has worked in the NHS for over twenty years and joined the Greens five years ago. He had never been a member of a political party and becoming a councillor was never something he saw on the horizon.
"They seem to have vacated the policy spaces I consider to be important such reducing poverty, supporting families better and advocating for social and climate justice." "There was also a sense Labour had become a clique and, as a consequence, there was a lack of scrutiny in local politics in Sefton. What we heard on the doorstep was that this was a council who didn't listen and didn't represent their views.
