All over Colchester, it’s ’Vote Green’!
Promoted by Mark Goacher on behalf of Kemal Çufoğlu, Amy-Kirkby Taylor and Colchester Green Party, all at 124 Morant Road, Colchester, CO12JD.

The best way to ensure that nature and the climate remain at the top of the Green Party agenda is to stay in the Green Party and fight for those issues to be at the top of the agenda!

NEW: The Lib Dems have written an open letter to Green members who are unhappy with the direction of the party, encouraging them to defect.

The letter is aimed at those members who feel nature and climate change has slipped down their party’s priorities and says “you have a home with us”.

Enjoying a Playhouse dinner. It is great that this historic music hall has been preserved and repurposed in this way. A fantastic building. And Betty Driver sang here too (Classic Corrie fans will know who I mean).

Attended the remembrance service today at the cenotaph and at the town hall.

I have reported these overflowing unemptied council bins on Brooklands Estate. Residents have a right to an efficient system.

Out delivering our latest newsletter and pleased to report that the water issues at Grantham Court have been resolved at last after my Green colleague Kemal Cufoglu got onto Essex Highways🙂

John Healey promised it would be a "continuity Labour government with a change of leader".

His Budget has delivered exactly that.

💥 The countryside isn't spare land for data centres - it's where our food comes from

Who else thinks our productive farmland deserves better protection?

Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift.

Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job.

What does this Labour government have against young people?

BOATING LAKE UPDATE: after pressure from residents, Ward councillors, county councillors and civic groups, Colchester Council has announced the intention to restore the Castle Park boating lake👇

[Queen Natalie 👑 @TheNorfolkLion]

Britain had about 30 million hedgehogs in the 1950s; we've got under 875,000 today. The population has dropped by about 97%. Shocking.

Our Autumn newsletter is whizzing through letterboxes in Castle Ward 😃👇

[Mark George Goacher @MarkGoacher]

Only one week to go before you will be NO LONGER ABLE to get your Ward Councillors to call in planning applications. Halloween brings the government’s new powers of delegation. Rather appropriate date.

[Mark George Goacher @MarkGoacher]

@russellquirk @Colchesterviews As I stated: the complaints I get about ASB and crime in central Colchester are about general incidents not asylum seeker behaviour. Why don’t your operatives go out at night when most incidents occur? Why didn’t you ask me where the ASB m/ crime hot spots are?

[Mark George Goacher @MarkGoacher]

Exactly the problem. These agencies need to do more and to receive the funding from government to do so👇

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

This is what we've come to.

A retired couple had to spend £1m of their own money taking both the @EnvAgency and @NaturalEngland to the High Court simply to force both of these charlatans to do their job, safeguard one of our nation's most legally heavily protected bits of countryside.

And the environment charities does what exactly?

Lower bills.

Invest in renewables.

No to new oil and gas.

Peace & Justice around the world.

Disappointing but not surprising questioning of Zack Polanski on #bbclaurak Every question about the Middle East - nothing else. Environment? Public services? No, all about the Middle East. Tedious to watch.

The Gods of Growth and Greed - worshipped devotedly by ALL major parties,prepared to make endless sacrifices.Latest blog gives two examples - unscrupulous developers,dodgy planning committees and emasculated regulators (English Nature) all in the mix!
