CHRIS LENNARD
Was born in Worcester and has lived in Worcestershire all his life. He went to school at Blessed Edward Oldcorne in Timberdine Avenue, and in the 1990s he helped to run a vegetarian café in Angel Place. He works in the NHS, caring for people in the local community.

Chris has been a member of the Green Party for 23 years.
He was elected to Malvern Hills District Council (1995-1998) and was co-opted as Malvern Town Councillor (2000-2001). In 1995 he spearheaded a successful campaign to close a highly polluting incinerator in his locality.

As one of the three-strong Green group on Malvern Hills District Council, he championed the Council's adoption of their Environmental Monitoring System and financial commitment to cycle routes and energy conservation.

In 2000, he became Scheme Initiator for Malvern's Walking for Health scheme - a Countryside Agency Initiative - one of the first in the country. As Co-ordinator of the GM-Free Worcestershire campaign, Chris presented a 1,000-signature petition to Worcestershire County Council in January 2004.

In June 2004, Chris was the leading Green Party European Parliamentary candidate in the West Midlands, visiting 54 towns and cities across the region and talking to literally thousands of voters. The Green Party vote went up by 49%, with West Midlands Greens getting 74,000 votes, 10,000 of them here in Worcestershire.

Chris was instrumental in the re-launch of Worcester Green Party in 2004, and was Green Party candidate for Worcester in the general election in May 2005, scoring 921 votes. On the same day, he stood as County Council candidate for Worcester Green Party, who fielded a full-slate of candidates; they scored 3,318 votes, a rise of more than 60% on the previous year. He helped to launch Wyre Forest Green Party in June 2005, and they hope to emulate the success of their fellow Greens in Worcester.
