Teenager sets up Green Party group for Richmondshire and Hambleton
A TEENAGER passionate about politics is hoping to instigate a resurgence of the Green Party in Richmondshire and Hambleton.
Matthew Jeffrey, 18, from North Cowton, near Richmond, joined the party on his 18th birthday and hoped to become more involved with the local group – but as there wasn’t one he decided to set up his own.
Mr Jeffrey will be holding a series of meetings to measure the level of support in Stokesley, Richmond and Northallerton, and said as long as he gets around five members willing to be active in running the group.
