This will be a record result for the Green Party in Swindon due to the hard work of so many of our members and supporters. Now it's onwards and upwards, there's so much more to do!

Had a lovely chat with a dog walker on my way around, wishing us good luck. Lots of support in this area! Now to vote and have breakfast before the Get Out The Vote campaign starts in earnest!!

The dogs are wondering why on earth I'm up so early, but there is an important message to deliver before the polls open!! #vote #greenSurge #makeHopeNormalAgain

Too much outsourcing has meant a loss of control and spiralling costs. The Green Party aren't interested in short-term fixes that don't look past the next headline or next election date. We're prepared to put the hard work in so that short-term investment can be used for long-term benefit.

A lot of us green party folk aren't your typical politicians. I always forget to be *in* the photo. But you see so many staged photos, maybe it's better that I'm not one of *those* politicians. Here's the after photo of the brook once we'd cleared all the junk out of it (tyre, till! (empty), etc.)

Thinking of voting #Reform in Swindon? Listen to their spokesperson, parachuted in from Trowbridge. His answer to everything is the big private investors, and developers who have been bleeding Swindon dry. We would bring services back in house under our control. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Swindon was looking lovely today on my walk from Town Gardens

They're gonna alright! www.facebook.com/share/r/1BCn...

NHS Blood and Transplant do a great job of engaging with donors, whoever thought of showing folk where their blood ends up is a genius. Their staff at the sharp end are also brilliant. Karen did a great job tracking down an elusive vein earlier this month, but she likes a challenge. #GiveBlood

I reckon I've got at least 40 newts in my garden. The slimy little suckers won't keep still so I can count them though.

Early takeaway from tonight's hustings... the Green Party's Tom Butcher scores highly with the audience for taking it seriously enough to wear a tie. Labour & Tory candidates' choice of trainers frowned upon.

Swindon Green Party is committed to the regeneration of Swindon Town Centre. We will support redevelopment that emphasises: 🏘️💼🍽️ Mixed-use neighbourhoods 🌳 Green spaces 🚐 Public transport 🏠 Genuinely affordable housing

We had a fabulous time at the launch of our manifesto on Friday. So many positive, forward thinking local policies for Swindon. Or, as the headline writers might say... "You'll be shocked at what the Green Party plans to do to council houses in Swindon!!" www.instagram.com/p/DXRSiVrDHW...

Brooke Linnet is standing to clean up Priory Vale. She's been active in community organising to clean up Graffiti. Brooke has the people and project skills to make a big positive impact as a Councillor. ✅ On May 7th Vote Green in Priory Vale for a cleaner, fairer Swindon.

Becky Cox is standing in Kingshill for South Swindon Parish Council. She's looking to bring her experience as a community organiser and champion of active travel to the Parish.

Marcus Kittridge is ready to serve the residents of Kingshill, having lived in the ward for 40 years and raised his family here. 🟢 Marcus has a huge depth of experience as an engineer, transport driver and small business owner.

Change is coming. The Green Party has shown that they are the ones who can beat Reform. Not with the politics of hate or fear, but with hope. On May 7th vote for real change. Vote Green. youtu.be/DBPdWAJEE8M?...

The Greens are the clear choice to beat Reform in Swindon. We've got more members, more energy, and more momentum.

Manchester has their plumber, Swindon needs their carpenter. There's a lot that needs fixing.

We've got the biggest and best lineup of Green Party candidates ever in Swindon, across the borough and parish councils. We're offering real change, real hope. Roll on election day on May 7th!

Green party membership in Swindon has already overtaken Labour, and the national trend continues to see the Greens surge while Labour decays. We're the real antidote to Reform.

It was brilliant to be out campaigning with Mothin today. A quietly-spoken man with an important message to share. Great to have him out knocking on doors with us and chatting to people about the issues that matter to them.

Swindon Greens are committed to preserving Highworth's old golf course as a country park, and enhancing its biodiversity. #GreenSpaces #Biodiversity

Looking forward to welcoming @mothinali.bsky.social to Swindon. And what better place to meet a gardener than the secret garden :-) While the old parties wither, the Green Party is blooming in Swindon.

Three Swindon Green Party candidates (Rosie Leather, Marcus Kittridge and Bill Hughes) attended the Friends of the Earth Climate Impacts and Social Fairness workshop in Swindon on Monday.

It's that time of year again over at the Hreod Burna Urban Forest - snakeshead fritillaries making their appearance

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.

This year I've branched out from growing trees into cuttings for the garden.🌱 This is one of half a dozen cuttings from this plant, all sprouting !One will be destined for the Celtic circle over at HBUF. Can you tell what it is yet? 🙂 (For clues: hbuf.org/our-celtic-t...)

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

The wind was chilly out on the streets, I think Farage was using all the hot air. At least we got a warm welcome from the people we spoke to.

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/

Imagine where we'd be if the BBC and others had given Caroline Lucas as much coverage when talking about the environment as they did to Nigel Farage whenever Europe was mentioned.

Two little ladybirds sitting on a tree ..

Some great conversations with people today. Sad that so many problems faced by residents are not getting any better. A lot of anger after years of Labour and Tory rule, and most people know Reform would only make things worse. Time for some fresh, Green, energy. Let's bring hope back to Swindon!

From humble beginnings, to conker the world!

Behold the mighty oak!!

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.

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!

Such a shame this was voted down. A scheme with a proven track record that would have saved the council money. It seems that this Labour administration doesn't like a good idea unless they can claim it for themselves.

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.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets. Lying to voters is all they have left. All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.

We had a great day canvassing, huge turnout and lots of great conversations with residents about their concerns. Fly-tipping, speeding and dog poop were all topics of discussion! And Repi, Tom and Shad will all work hard as candidates in the Queen's Park ward to address these.
