Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the Conservative party candidate for Berwick, has welcomed the announcement that the Green Party have formed a local branch and intend to put forward a candidate at The General Election on May 7th for the seat being vacated by veteran MP Alan Beith.
Anne-Marie Trevelyan said; "Just as I welcomed the possibility of an SNP candidate, I welcome this announcement. I know that there are some Berwick residents whose views resonate most closely with The Green Party and I believe in giving the electorate a wider choice and the option of voting for the party of their first preference. As well as enhancing voter choice, it also enriches the debate so I am very positive about this".
