Stephen Gray moved to Coventry as a student at the University of Warwick in 1996 and has lived in the city ever since. He is co-ordinator of Coventry Green Party, and his local priorities include the campaigns to save Coventry's Greenbelt, and to prevent the wasteful plans to build a 1 billion pound new super-incinerator in Coventry. He is a member of Jubilee Church Coventry, where he is involved in debt counselling and money education.
