Bruce Tetlow is standing again for the Green Party in the Cheylesmore ward this year.

Full statement

In last year's local election he received 263 votes and came 3rd.

Bruce says: "A Canadian by birth and upbringing, my family and I moved up to Coventry from London nearly 20 years ago and I’ve worked as a free-lance performing arts teacher and performance maker as well as working with the Belgrade Theatre access department, providing Audio Description for patrons living with a visual impairment. Despite not being interested in politics for most of my life, I joined the green party a few years ago when I realised that people and businesses couldn’t lead the way in the fight to save the environment, and that it is a government’s fundamental responsibility to do so. I like to keep fit by doing yoga or walking my two dogs but I am most passionate about creative expression in the community and keeping the hopes and dreams of the Coventry City of Culture 2021 alive for the next 10 years at least."
