Mancroft – Martin Schmierer
Martin grew up in Norwich and has lived here since 1994. In 2015 he was elected as councillor for Mancroft Ward and has represented the city centre since then. As a councillor, he has worked to make streets safer by working with the police to tackle anti-social behaviour and drug use. He also led the Green Party’s campaign to stop the spread of gambling venues in deprived areas of the city and has a proven track record of standing up to certain big developers whose proposals could have ruined parts of Norwich’s historic centre.
Before getting involved in party politics, Martin researched the role local government played on public health in Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow.
In his free time, Martin enjoys going to the cinema, cooking and taking walks in the Norfolk countryside. He is an avid Norwich City fan.
