The Green Party had a mixed day at the local elections in Leeds last month.
While the party lost one of its three councillors to Labour, they managed to snatch a seat back off the ruling party in the city’s Hunslet and Riverside ward.
The beneficiary was 43 year-old Ed Carlisle, who is one of 13 new faces among Leeds’ elected representatives this summer. Not that he’s taking his new role for granted.
