Another Reform scandal as Warwickshire council chair resigns, called out as a "rogue landord". His six-bedroom properties "failed to meet even the most basic of living standards and legal requirements". Green will 'Abolish landlords' to stop this exploitation. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

🌿 Buntingford - Green drop-in Drop by for a chat and some Green discussion. Everyone welcome! 📅 Wednesday 4th February 🕢 From 10am 📌 Peppermill, 30 High Street, Buntingford, SG9 9AQ

Well said.

And while you're there enjoying Amwell, bear in mind that Reform would scrap the Habitat Regulations that designate this nature reserve as a Special Protection Area. Meanwhile, Labour's Fingleton Review also threatens to weaken the Habitat Regulations.

Of course it’s possible and Green councillors in local authority administration in councils across the country are proving that everyday.

Can you join our team of leaflet delivers? Thanks to our volunteers, Hertford winter newsletter deliveries are almost done. Ware is next. We don't have corporate funding so we rely on volunteers to get the Green message out to local people. eastherts.greenparty.org.uk/get-involved/

Third action for the community as part of my @easthertsgreens.bsky.social 26 local actions for 2026: clearing debris at an outfall that prevents Cromwell road in Kingsmead from flooding. This was blocked for years but no longer! Thanks to cllr Vicky Glover-Ward who helped uncover it💚💚

🌿 Hertford - Litter Pick Litter picks are a great way to improve our local environment. And a chance to get outdoors for some fresh spring air. Please join us! 📅 Sunday 8th February 🕢 Meet at 11am 📌 Outside Simon Balle School, Mangrove Road, Hertford, SG13 8AJ

Thank you so much to everyone who took part in this fundraiser. The winners from our thank-you draw have been contacted. And there’s nothing to stop those of you who haven’t yet committed to a 26 for 2026 pledge. We always welcome donations, even after the thank-you draw has closed.

@easthertsgreens.bsky.social completed my second pledge of #26for26 yesterday with residents' help. I think the best comment was from new member Brian who said "it was very meditative". It is! All those pesky bits of plastic everywhere!

Wondering why I am so angry and vocal about the UK Govt building a toolkit for tyrants? In the USA, ICE agents took facial rec for tracking ‘non-citizens’ (so grim in itself!) and then immediately used it to build themselves a database of human rights protestors. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

Hundreds of volunteers hitting the streets this morning in Gorton and Denton. Lower bills, tax the super-rich- hope will win. Only the Greens can stop Reform in this by-election.

Hannah Spencer, Green candidate for Gorton and Denton, has some refreshing comments about flags.

Second job this week as part of my @easthertsgreens.bsky.social 26 local actions for 2026: clearing debris from the road drain on Port Vale in Bengeo which is so vulnerable to flooding. Big thanks to the other local residents who also tackle this… (before and after)

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer, our new candidate for Gorton and Denton @greenpartyhan.bsky.social Brilliant launch speech here on Manchester Evening News (of course!) @manchestereveningnews.co.uk www.youtube.com/live/odbCx0e...

An hour spent out with @easthertsgreens.bsky.social Jane and @greendaar.bsky.social litter picking from Cross Road to The Avenue in Bengeo - part of our 26 activities for 2026 💚

Straight from our policy... The Green Party advocates for the immediate nationalisation of water companies in England and Wales to bring them into public ownership, replacing the current "failed" privatised model.

I made a start on my pledge to do 26 litter picks in 2026 today as part of @easthertsgreenparty campaign #26for26.

Greens have been aware of this for years, but it is still shocking to see ecosystem collapse so plainly in a government report. In East Herts, we are urgently seeking new spaces for wildlife in our towns and parks, and helping people change to low carbon life. www.eastherts.gov.uk/latest-news/...

In the Hertford & Ware Flyer, Green Cllr Carl Brittain talks about the work to remove the sunken barge in Hertford. Also news about the budget for East Herts, protecting services where possible, within the limits of decreasing government funding. e-magazine.flyeronline.co.uk/p/hertford-f...

Help bring the People’s Emergency Briefing to public attention by contributing to their crowd funder. Money raised will be used to turn the November 25 Emergency Briefing into a film that can be shown in local communities. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-people...

This review is yet another government threat to wildlife in East Herts. Weakening the Habitat Regulations would affect protection for nature across the country, not only at nuclear sites. Locally this affects HMWT nature reserves at Amwell and Rye Meads, and the ancient woods near Brickendon.

At the recent Adult Care Services Cabinet Panel, Green Cllr Rachel Carter @cllrrachelcarter.bsky.social highlighted the need for care workers to be properly paid. Greens recognise that many carers work long hours, in difficult conditions. We need to fix this. aisapps.mediasite.com/AuditelSched...

We are marking Holocaust Memorial Day today, and Green councillors were proud to attend the East Herts Holocaust Memorial Ceremony last Thursday. It is more important now than ever that we remember what can happen when authoritarian governments get into power. hmd.org.uk/what-is-holo...

Government has cut funds for the school holiday food vouchers, meaning children go hungry. The Tory proposal to reinstate vouchers for one half term isn't good enough. We're calling on County to help and to lobby government for support. @kirstytm.bsky.social aisapps.mediasite.com/AuditelSched...

🌿Stevenage Green Drinks🍷🍺🍸 Drop in for a chat, bring a friend and share green ideas over a drink 📅 Tue 27th January 2026 🕢From 19:30pm 📌The Standing Order, 33 High St, Stevenage Old Town SG1 3AU

We're ready to be an 'existential' threat to Labour, and to win against Reform. If you can help us deliver leaflets, the time to do it is now! eastherts.greenparty.org.uk/get-involved/

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Green Party now has over 190,000 members! Membership growth, polling surges, by-election wins and defections... the Green Party is making hope normal again. Join today!

I think for some,trying to blame Good and Pretti for the murderous actions of ICE is a self protection mechanism. By concluding that the victims did wrong,they can then believe that they will be safe, because they will not do wrong. Except this isn't how ICE works. It also isn't how democracy works.

We were delighted to welcome new people to our members meeting on Sunday, and also very pleased to welcome guests from Harlow Green Party. We look forward to working with you all. And our congratulations to the award winners from East Herts and Harlow.

Some highlights from our Herts-wide @greenparty.org.uk meeting held in St Albans last weekend! Volume up!! @easthertsgreens.bsky.social @easterngreenparty.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social

There’s still time to join in with our ‘26 actions for 2026’ campaign - with a prize draw at the end of the month. So come on, commit to 26 fantastic actions during the year (and make a donation to East Herts Green Party too 💚💚)

There are assets around the town that have been neglected for too long. We are determined to put them in the right shape for the 21st century.

Look out for this tonight!

If you can't wait for the next Green Drinks in East Herts, there's one in Letchworth

🎉 Green GAIN from Reform! 🎉 💚 Congratulations to Lian Pizzey on being elected in Horsley division on Derbyshire County Council!

Gas boilers no longer being phased out? House builders donating to Labour? Broken system…

No, they won’t all leave, yes it will be hard to achieve, no it won’t fix every problem in our society, but we must TAX THE SUPER-RICH! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Thanks to Caroline, Liz, Alex, and also Dave for leafleting today. @greendaar.bsky.social If you can help next time, please get in contact eastherts.greenparty.org.uk/get-involved/

Thursday 22nd January is Clean Air Night, to share the facts about wood burning and to help spark a conversation. "Wood burning produces fine particulate air pollution, which enters your bloodstream when inhaled and can cause heart and lung disease" www.ukcleanair.org/2026/01/09/c...

Great to see new hedges being planted, and with a really good mix of food plant species. Thanks to all your volunteers! @bc-hertsmiddx.bsky.social and CPRE Herts

Thanks to Herts County Council and Molewood Residents Assn for enabling this - should be far safer and easier to use for all 💚

A fantastic gathering of Greens from all corners of Hertfordshire! Thanks to our hosts @stalbansgreens.bsky.social and the 110+ who came, ate well, chatted, learned and supported. Loads of great ideas and positive vision 💚

Thanks @stalbansgreens.bsky.social for hosting and building the movement

Cllr Rachel Pattinson-West defected to Greens because we offer hope. "Like many people, I am deeply concerned by the way the most vulnerable are being scapegoated for inequalities created by right-wing politics." join.greenparty.org.uk

Great to see this rail completed in the steps in Bengeo on a sunny but slippy day, rushing to catch the train. Thanks @bencrystall.bsky.social,#saferwalking, #activetravel, @easthertsgreens.bsky.social
