My mother, Janet Alty, who has died aged 86, was an environmental campaigner and community activist.
She was the first and only Green party town councillor in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, when she was elected in 2015. By the time she stood down in May 2023, the Greens were the majority party on Warwick district council, which covers Warwick, Leamington Spa and Whitnash. A woman who lived by the principles she promoted, she enthused many others to participate in local and national campaigns.
