GREEN MEP CANDIDATE TOURS HERTS AND BEDS:

Vision for Green Jobs at campaign events

Rupert Read, Lead MEP Candidate for the Green Party in Eastern England is extending his ‘listening tour’ to Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire this coming week.

On Monday 4th May, Read will join the panel of politicians talking to the Bedford Trades Council at the Tavistock Community Centre on Princes Street in Bedford from 14.00. Afterwards he will campaign in the Bedford area into the evening.

On Tuesday 5th May, Read will make stops in the districts of Dacorum, at Berkhampstead at 12.30, and St. Albans, where he will talk about his experiences and the Green Party’s plans for the future of the region in an afternoon interview on Radio Verulam.

The tour continues in Hatfield market at 10.00 on the 6th May where Read will be joined by former London Mayoral Candidate Sian Berry, who will also accompany him for meetings with students at The University of Hertfordshire from 12:30 until departing for Central Beds in the afternoon. There, Rupert Read and Ms. Berry will join up with Green Party Councillor Ken Lynch in the town centre of Sandy at 15.30, and will also meet with Green Party Councillor Gareth Ellis.

The last leg of the tour kicks of early on Thursday 7th May as Read joins UCL Professor Bill McGuire and FREdome Trust and C-Green Solutions founder Greg Peachey on the dais at the Watford and West Herts Chamber of Commerce Networking Breakfast at Bushey Hall Golf Club in Watford at 07.15. Read then will be moving on to talk to voters in the Epping Forest area.

The Greens are mounting their strongest ever campaign for a European seat in Eastern region. With Labour struggling badly, many progressive voters are looking for an alternative.
