For a greener fairer north tyneside
introducing chloe-louise reilly, green party candidate for mayor
North Tyneside Green Party has selected Chloe-Louise Reilly as its Mayoral candidate for the North Tyneside Mayoral election.
Chloe previously stood for the Green Party in the 2024 General Election for the Tynemouth constituency, achieving a record result. She also ran in the 2024 local elections in the Chirton and Percy Main ward, where she lives with her family.
At the 2021 Mayoral election, the Green Party received 7% of the vote. Since then, the party’s vote share has increased locally, with 14% of the total votes cast in the 2024 local elections going to Green candidates.
Chloe-Louise is currently developing her priorities for the election and is encouraging feedback from individuals, communities, organisations, and businesses. Chloe says
“As the Green Party candidate for Mayor of North Tyneside, I want to ensure that our campaign reflects the priorities of the people who live and work here and we will be announcing more about my priorities as our consultation exercise comes to an end in March so I would love to hear from you about what else we should prioritise – you can tell us your views here.”
A central part of the campaign will be to give the people of North Tyneside a stronger voice in local decision-making, starting with a campaign for a referendum on the North Tyneside mayoral role. This comes after the 2016 referendum, where 57.5% of voters (32,546 votes) chose to retain the current mayoral system over a committee system (41.8%, 23,703 votes). North Tyneside Green Party believes that, in 2025, it is time for a fresh opportunity for the people to decide if the mayoral system still serves their best interests. If successful, the aim is to scrap the mayor’s position and replace it with a more democratic committee system, giving elected councillors more direct influence on decisions affecting the borough and their communities.
The Mayoral election will take place on Thursday 1st May 2025.

congratulations to our four new mps from around the country
As the Green Party nationally we have met our target of a total of 4 MP’s for 2024, with three new seats and a new MP in our previous seat in Brighton Pavilion. We stood in 574 seats, more than ever before. Nationwide, we received about two million votes, a record 6.8% of all ballots cast.
A Green Party spokesperson stated “We want first and foremost to say thank you to the voters who have put their trust in us – it’s an historic day. This result is an incredible breakthrough for the Green Party and shows clearly how much appetite there is for something different from the status quo.
Sian Berry in Brighton Pavilion, Carla Denyer in Bristol Central , Adrian Ramsay in Waveney Valley and Ellie Chowns in North Herefordshire will work so hard for their constituents and be the Green MPs our country so desperately needs. We’re looking forward to working constructively with the new Labour government on some of our shared goals, and pushing them to be bolder where their ambition is lacking.”
The Green Party is the only national political party in our country which understands that environmental, social and economic justice are intimately entwined. It is working hard to prevent climate catastrophe, reform our democracy and promote a Green recovery.
The North Tyneside Green Party is a growing presence in North Tyneside, our membership, supporter numbers and local election vote share continue to grow year on year, reflecting public concerns and aspirations.
