councillor neil jacques

Barton Town Council

Neil has recently retired from over 30 years public service in local government in Museums and the Arts. He was re-elected to Barton Town Council in May 2023. He was a Green Party councillor on Glanford Borough and Barton Town Council in the 1990s and has been a Governor at two local schools for 20 years.

A keen gardener and allotment holder, he’s passionate about protecting the natural environment for future generations. He strongly believes we must balance environmental protection with social justice and economic fairness, to ensure a future for the common good – for the majority, not just the few served by all the other political parties.

councillor carol thornton

Barton Town Council

Carol was re-elected to Barton Town Council in May 2023. She is now retired but worked in Community Development, and agreed to stand because so many people asked her about problems she thought she would be in a position to help them out. Carol wanted to put the Green point of view when matters such as planning were being debated. Greens don’t like waste and are in favour of conservation and helping those who need it.
