We have selected Alan Lankester as the Green Party candidate for the upcoming Frampton Cotterell by-election.
On 28th November residents of Frampton Cotterell will be able to vote for a new councillor to represent them on South Gloucestershire Council. This follows the election of the previous holder of the seat as MP for Thornbury and Yate earlier this year.
Alan has lived in Frampton Cotterell with his wife and family for 22 years and he is a current Frampton Cotterell Parish councillor. He has also been very active in other aspects of the community since moving to Frampton Cotterell. This includes several years as a youth football coach and a nature conservation volunteer. His children all went to local schools and his youngest now runs one of the local pubs.
Alan has worked in the NHS for 43 years, mostly in stem cell transplantation and associated IT roles. He is currently supporting a national database for stem cell transplantation management. He has been a South Glos Green Party member for over 10 years and previously stood for the party at last year’s local government elections for the Winterbourne ward.
