Green Party Barry and Vale

07/05/2026

Hi, I'm Amy and today, I’m asking for your vote to be a strong local voice for Pen-y-bont Bro Morgannwg in the Senedd 💚

I’m standing because I want a future where our communities thrive, our rivers and beaches are protected, and people can actually afford to live well.

If you want:
💚 No sewage in the sea around Barry Island
💚 Clean water in the River Ogmore
💚 £1 bus fares and better public transport
💚 Green jobs for Bridgend and the Vale
💚 A rent freeze to help with the cost of living
💚 Real action for nature and green spaces
Then vote Green today.

This election is incredibly close. Under the new voting system, the final seat in Pen-y-bont Bro Morgannwg could come down to a tiny number of votes between the Greens, Reform and the Conservatives.

Your vote really can make the difference today.
I’ve spent this campaign speaking to people across Bridgend and the Vale who are fed up with pollution, rising costs and politics as usual. I believe we can do things differently, and better.

Polls are open until 10pm. Bring your friends, and let’s make history together.

Vote Green 🌱

Residents around the docks in Barry have been reporting wood dust on their cars for the last few months. If the dust is on their cars and the ground, it’s in the air we are breathing.

Residents deserve clean air without pollution!

"Nobody should have to put up with their lungs, homes and cars filling with dust"

Illtyd By-election
Today is voting day!

Vote for Aoife Blight, vote for passion and commitment to making your local area a greener, fairer, more accessible and cherished space.

You do not need your ID to vote in local council elections in Wales.
Turn up, be heard! Vote for positive change, vote green! 💚

Note: there is a road closure on Severn Avenue making it difficult to access the polling station at Cwm Talwg by car, so bear this in mind when planning how you vote.

A message from Aoife Blight ahead of the Illtyd by-election.
“It's by-election week and here are some reasons why I think you should vote green.
I love living in Barry, shopping locally and bringing our community together through positive action.
I'm so proud of my work with Kidical Mass Barry, bringing families together to call for safer walking, wheeling and cycling infrastructure. I'm so proud that I've proactively worked with the council to install cycle storage at some of our brilliant local amenities (the RTM Skatepark, throughout Romilly Park, and the break water beach at Friar's point).
But I'm most proud of the work I've done to bring Play street to my street and introduce it to the Vale. The community we've built around that gives me hope for communities everywhere.I've done all this just as a local citizen. If I were elected as a councillor I would spend my time and energy creating more positivity, looking for solutions rather than blaming other parties for the problems that exist. I've proven that we can create so much good if we work together.
If you want to see more of this positive action then please vote green in the Illtyd By-election on September 11th.”

In giving the Israeli Government impunity to break international law, the UK, US and others have enabled a genocide, failed to secure the release of the hostages, escalated the fighting and put the entire region at risk.

The diplomacy of phone calls and statements is not enough. To end this horrific violence, we need more direct measures including an end to arms sales, the introduction of divestments, boycotts and sanctions, prosecutions for all those who have committed war crimes and a plan for a viable Palestinian state.

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water one of the three worst performing water companies in the UK.

Time to clean up your act!

Anglian Water, Welsh Water and Southern Water fell into the lowest category of "lagging" while the remaining 10 water firms were rated "average"

The same child is in both photos. The only difference is how they're dressed.

As we approach shorter daylight hours, whether you walk, cycle, use public transport or drive, make sure you can be seen.
