Green Action Saturdays!

The Eastern Green Party’s Action Saturdays continue to be a success in providing an opportunity to exchange campaigning techniques as well as delivering important support where it is needed around the region. In the run up to the local elections this extra support will be crucial to reaching our goals on May 1st.

Action Saturdays consist of a full day of campaign activity, including canvassing and leafleting. It is also a great chance to find out first hand what different local parties are doing, discuss strategies and become inspired from each others progress.

Accommodation for overnight stay is usually available, and local parties often put on a social event in the evening to celebrate a good day’s campaigning.

Click here for details of the first event on Saturday March 29th, and here for details of the following four events! Hope to see you there!

If you have 20 mph as the default then you not only establish this limit clearly, but you also adjust the driver's recognition as to what is the "normal" speed in such residential areas. The most important aspect is that drivers set 20 mph as the norm with those 30 mph areas or roads being seen as 50% faster, rather than seeing 30 mph as the norm with 20 mph as 33% slower. The psychological adjustment of normal speeds in residential areas is key to the success of reducing speeds and therefore danger to pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore any trial, pilot or whatever, that only implements 20 mph in a tiny proportion of the city is not modelling 20's Plenty in any realistic manner.   When considering the val...

Stansted: a reflection

The key question, in relation to protsts like that at Stansted last week, is: which side are you on? Are you on the side of big corporations profiteering from completely unsustainable climate-destructive behaviour? Or are you on the side of people with no vested interests just making a non-violent stand, at considerable cost to their own time and money, for the sake of all our futures? It doesn't seem to me a hard judgement to make... Rupert Read Green Party Councillor, Norwich, and Lead Candidate for Eastern Region for the Greens in the 2009 Euro-elections.
