First doorknocking session since my injury. It was so nice to meet fellow residents and discuss issues that matter to you like parking, buses, youth services, opening up eagle house again and of course saving the Western Slopes.
in Brighton knocking on doors for @sianberry. Residents agree:
๐ whoever next gov is, we need Greens in parliament to speak truth to power
๐ a Green MP = an independent, unwhipped voice in Parliament. Brighton knows how special this is.

"It's about making the right choices and the right priorities. The Bank of England has been instructed to deprioritise Climate change but it's so short-termist" Cllr Christina Coleman, Green parliamentary candidate for East Grinstead and Uckfield, on @ashdownradio last week.
Cllr Greg Collins in Crowborough today: "Treecycling is a brilliant idea, enabling us all to have a part of @Ashdown_Forest in our gardens. I've been supporting The Birch Tree Project since the early days, & today raised valuable funds for them, Green Transition & @sussex_police"
"We want a Local Plan to ensure that development can be managed". Green District Cllr for Maresfield, Ian Tysh.
After many many weeks of work, Wealden's draft local plan was approved in a Full Council meeting on Thursday.
@wealdendistrict@TheGreenParty
Big step for Alliance's mission to make Wealden a greener, fairer, kinder place today:
New policy to charge 100% extra council tax for empty & second homes.
That's 3 wins in 1: climate crisis, housing crisis & support for lowest income residents.
@wealdengp@wealdendistrict
Well done Cllr Jessika Hulbert, new Chair of @wealdendistrict council.
"I promise to do my best to serve our community and foster strong relationships with both residents and businesses."

"Knocking on doors...and listening to people, it's very clear that the Conservatives have not been listening to their own heartland."
Cllr @rachelmillward, Parliamentary candidate for Sussex Weald and deputy leader of @wealdendistrict council.
@ITV
The Conservatives are losing their rural heartlands. "People have had enough."
Telling it like it is on @ITV's The Last Word.
It's time for change.
