Summary
Geraldine Coggins, Green Party candidate for Greater Manchester mayor, is rallying voters with a bold transport vision—extending the tram to Stockport while championing buses, cycling, and walking as smarter, faster alternatives. Running against Labour’s Bev Craig and Reform’s Marlon West, she’s positioning the Greens as the likely next mayor—or at least a major challenger—capitalizing on recent local wins and a shifting political tide. As a Trafford councillor, she promises to expand Andy Burnham’s legacy to benefit the whole region, tackle the cost of living, and build an inclusive economy that celebrates Greater Manchester’s diversity. With a platform focused on affordable housing, thriving high streets, green spaces, and net-zero goals, Coggins aims to send a powerful message to Westminster: Green voters deserve national attention—and a Green mayor could be the catalyst for real change.
