David Radford is the Green Party candidate for Stansted Division in the Essex County Council Election 2026
Dr David Radford is a science graduate who has had a career in local government and health service administration. After fund-raising for the homelessness charity Shelter while a postgraduate, he has worked on housing policy at the Institute of Housing, as a senior housing manager for a metropolitan council, as Chief Executive of a county council, and as Chair of NHS Devon, Plymouth and Torbay before retiring in 2013.
David wants to work once again in local government – this time as an elected representative of the local population – because public services have deteriorated so dramatically in recent years and urgently need a fresh commitment. The Green Party has a vision – not only for the natural environment but for an equitable and humane society – which he judges to be our best hope both locally and nationally.
