Charlotte McCabe is a Newcastle City Councillor, environmental educator, and community organiser running for Lord Mayor. Having made Newcastle her home, she has worked alongside the community on the issues that shape everyday life — from climate and housing to public transport and local democracy.
As a Greens councillor for Ward 1 and current Deputy Lord Mayor, Charlotte has fought to put people before profit in local decision-making. She has been a leading voice on climate issues affecting Newcastle, including coal dust, offshore gas, and the future of the city’s industrial economy, while advocating for a transition that supports workers and protects the environment. Before entering council, she worked as a primary school teacher and environmental educator, and has organised across social and environmental justice campaigns for over 30 years.
With the cost of living rising and trust in major parties falling, Charlotte believes local government can play a bigger role in making life fairer — from pushing for affordable housing and better public transport to building a more liveable, inclusive city. She is running to bring community voices back into the heart of decision-making and to create a Newcastle that works for everyone.
