Ken Huggins has lived in Dorset since 2008, and he has been a Parish Councillor since 2014.
Having persuaded his Parish Council to declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency in 2020, he established a Climate Working Group which has successfully decarbonised the village hall by replacing the oil-fired heating system with air source heat pumps.

Ken was also the Green Party Parliamentary candidate for North Dorset in 2019 and 2024.
