Green County & City councillor Chris Coates has been selected as the prospective Green parliamentary candidate for the Morecambe and Lunesdale constituency at the next general election. Cllr Coates said after the result of the ballot of local members was announced at a recent Green Party monthly meeting, “The time has come for us to look beyond the bits of the area where we are strong and take a Green message out across the whole District. I look forward to the challenge of campaigning in Morecambe and the Lune Valley.”
Councillor Coates, who leads the 12 strong Green group on the Council, has served on the City Council for the six years and was elected on to Lancashire County Council in 2005. Chris is a time-served carpenter who now works as a freelance project manager on community based construction projects.
