Let's face it the Conservatives are all but wiped out in Worcester.

National opinion polls are predicting a massive majority for Labour at Westminster.

Whoever you normally vote for, this time you can vote with your heart.

Vote Green, vote Tor!

[Floodplain Meadows Partnership @Floodplainmead]

Our research, supported by @Ecover shows carbon stored in ancient meadow soils was 60% higher than arable fields. Floodplain meadow sites also store relatively high levels of carbon compared to other habitats. More to come soon 🌱https://t.co/QQlVmzgkxO

Great day at the Worcester Show. There really is an amazing 'village fête' feel to the event. Thank you so much to all the city council staff and the incredible volunteers that make this so successful.

[Mayor of Worcester @WorcesterMayor]

An absolute delight to officially open the Worcester Festival.
Over two weeks of family friendly entertainment with most things being free of charge.

Thank you to @MardenWildlife and @KentWildlife for showing the NE grassland network the enormous returns that can be achieved through a community project. Fantastic restoration and community involvement @NESussexandKent @NaturalEngland

[KateyS @kateystephen]

Massive thanks to @NESussexandKent for hosting the NE grassland network. Blown away by the extent and quality of grassland restoration! Shows the importance of longterm adviser/farmer relationship @kentdowns6 Great to see so many of you there @NaturalEngland

[Mayor of Worcester @WorcesterMayor]

An honour and a privilege to be the first Green Mayor of Worcester. Today was the Civic Service, starting with a procession from the Guildhall to the Cathedral.

[Mayor of Worcester @WorcesterMayor]

What a terrific day of music at @ElgarFestival. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to two performances in which the Mayoress sang. What an invigorating Elgars 1st Symphony!

[Mayor of Worcester @WorcesterMayor]

Fantastic concert this morning listening to English choral music composed by Britten, Holst, Lennox and Michael Berkeley as well as our very own Elgar.

[Caroline O'Rourke @CarolineORourk2]

And we're off! Fantastic turn out for the first day of our FMP conference at Oxford Museum of Natural History 🥳 #fmpconf23

[Miles King @MilesKing10]

Even up to 250 Tonnes Carbon/ha in some ancient floodplain meadows #fmpconf2023

[Miles King @MilesKing10]

And we’re off! @NaturalEngland Senior lowland grassland specialist Katey Stephen (who is also Mayoress of Worcester) gives an update on SSSI condition assessment for floodplain meadows #fmpconf23

[Caroline O'Rourke @CarolineORourk2]

@Vicky_Bowskill talking about her work on hay cutting for nutrient management in #floodplainmeadows. Two cuts at the right time can actively help reduce nutrients #fmpconf23

[Mayor of Worcester @WorcesterMayor]

My promotion of the health and environmental benefits of cycling will not stop whilst I'm Mayor. I'm going to endeavour to arrive at all events by bike.

Possible rare exceptions may be when I'm being accompanied by the Mayoress and a posh hat is required.

[KateyS @kateystephen]

So proud to be representing Worcester as the first Green mayor and mayoress

[KateyS @kateystephen]

And the botanical season is launched! Great day with collegues in the #malvernhills having fun with those spring ephemerals, topped off with a lovely hay meadow.

[KateyS @kateystephen]

@spp_Rich @WildlifeMag My sentiments exactly.....
