About Pippa in her own words

As a frontline environmental and social activist, I have battled against homeslessness, and road and airport expansions. Now a writer on politics and the environment, and a campaigner for the Green Party, my professional background is in archaeology, heritage conservation and regeneration.

Locally, I was a govenor of Caersws Primary School for two years, where I helped run the parent-led school library, and I am now governor at Llandinam Primary School.  I trained as a breastfeeding support peer and helped set up the Llanidloes Breastfeeding Support Group – being chair for the first year and winning funding for the new service.  I also sit on the Management Committee of the Caersws Village Hall.

I joined the Green Party as it is the only party that prioritises climate change, and is the only political opposition to’austerity’ economics.  For the past year I have been the Campaigns Coordinator for Wales Green Party, and in 2015 I stood as a Wales Green Party candidate for Mid and West Wales in the National Assembly for Wales elections.

I am now standing as the prospective Wales Green Party candidate for Caersws ward in Powys, as I believe Powys County Council needs a shake-up and a change of direction.  It’s time for a new generation to step forward with new ideas.
