We are a small, but expanding, friendly group of local Activists who meet at least once a month to discuss our local Green agenda. This can be campaigning on environmental issues, housing, education, transport, waste and recycling – there is always plenty to talk about and get involved in.
If you would like to join in, let Ruth know – all the info is in our Contact page.
We often have street stalls to promote our policies – particularly when elections loom – and we always need help with those and leaflet distribution.

Thanks for looking and we hope to see you soon.
