Councillor Kia Pope is a Green Party member who sits on Portland Town Council for Underhill ward.
He sits on the Council’s Climate Emergency Working Group, Biodiversity Working Group, and Events Working Group.
Kia said in June 2025: “My first year on Portland Town Council has been an honour to serve, and I’ve learned a ton. Thank you islanders for the chance.
“I am extremely pleased to have supported initiatives including: the successful Towns of Culture bid, Portland’s amazing community interest and charity groups, and greening of council projects and operations.
“If the incinerator ever becomes operational, we will keep fighting to get it shut down. No ifs, no buts, no giving up. With this fight comes a different vision, of green energy projects, billions in local investment, and decent well paid jobs so your kids don’t have to leave the island to make a living. We can and we will make that happen, and we don’t get there by burning rubbish by our UNESCO site.”
