Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating, from all of us at Swindon Area Green Party!

A great statement from Zack, and its good to see more long term economic thinking in the national discussion focusing on investment. Our recent budget proposals for Swindon Borough Council took a similar approach at a local level.

This is amazing news for Swindon! The whole of Swindon Area Green Party is behind this initiative. Our Green Councillors and candidates are active participants and supporters of Swindon’s creative scene.

📣 Swindon Borough Councils last full meeting of the year is tonight at 7pm. Tune in to see your Swindon Green Councillors in action www.youtube.com/@SBCPublicMe... We will be proposing motions on:

As the election gets nearer, the amount of support we are getting keeps growing! Our friends from Wiltshire Greens joined us today in the glorious Swindon sun to chat to the warm and welcoming people of Kingshill. #GreenMenace #GreenSurge

While Reform were throwing their glitzy event in the MECA yesterday we were out on the windy streets of Queen's Park talking to residents about their real concerns.

With hundreds of new members joining Swindon Greens over the last few months, we took a moment to ask a few of them what attracted them to hottest new political party in town. If you're excited about a green future for Swindon: join.greenparty.org.uk/

In February we announced reaching a record 500 members. In just one month since then, more than 60 new people have joined us. The more people that hear our positive message, the more that number will keep going up. #GreenSurge #GreenMenace

Today is International Women's Day. The Green Party celebrates all the incredible women in the Green Party and beyond who are working every day to accelerate action for gender equality. Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.

A letter from Councillor Tom Butcher to @heidialexander.bsky.social

Who owns Swindon's wealth? And who benefits from the town's economic growth? A bit of back and forth between our own Tom Butcher and Labour's Jim Robbins.

Swindon Council Green group leader Tom Butcher presented our proposal for a social care co-operative to the Council last Thursday. This could have saved the Council significantly in the future compared to paying private care agencies.

These poll results show that hope is finally winning over hate. And with everyone's help we can turn this support into Green wins in Swindon on May 7th

You told us about the problems with litter in Queen's Park, so we decided to do something about it. Your views matter, and we're listening. Here's the Green Team in action! #Swindon #Litter #GreenMenace

Since the Rochdale pioneers, co-operative enterprises have been a key pillar of the broader labour movement. Strange then that the Labour group voted down our proposal to set up a care co-operative in Swindon!

Our Green budget amendment included the construction of net zero temporary accommodation to help prevent homelessness. These would be constructed on a model used in Bristol as part of the 'Hope Rising' project. Sadly the Labour group voted it down.

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer on her election as MP for Gorton & Denton from everyone at Swindon Area Green Party! The Green Party just put a plumber into parliament to speak up for the 99%. And we won't stop there.

At Swindon Borough Council's budget meeting today, Swindon Green Party will propose to freeze Councillors allowances this year. We propose to use the money this would save to fund more SEND transport. We've heard so much from SEND families who are struggling.
