Green Hero - Louise Harris
By Keith Melton
Louise Harris - our candidate for Filton & Bradley Stoke
Cllr Louise Harris (previously also known as Cllr Louise Bloom), is the parliamentary candidate for Filton & Bradley Stoke in South Gloucestershire. She has decades of experience as a Green campaigner, and a record of action going back to her student days campaigning on acid rain in the 1980s.
Louise was a founder member of the Green Liberal Democrats, having previously been a member of the Young Liberal Ecology Group. As Green Lib Dem Vice Chair Louise organised a series of highly successful conferences in the 1990s and was instrumental in ensuring that Green policies became embedded in Liberal Democrat manifestos.
Greening Greater London and Eastleigh!
Louise was a founder member of the Greater London Assembly in 2000. As Vice Chair of the Environment Scrutiny Committee she worked on the first ever London-wide waste strategy.
Later, as a Councillor in Eastleigh, Louise became Cabinet member for Environment and Sustainability at Eastleigh Borough Council in Hampshire between 2002 and 2015 and was a councillor there until 2017. Under her leadership, Eastleigh won many awards for it's work on Green issues including Beacon Council for Tackling Climate Change 2008-9, the equivalent of a Local Government Oscar, which Louise considers her greatest achievement in politics...so far.
