ACTION SATURDAY in NORWICH SOUTH - ELECTION SPECIAL

SATURDAY 23rd MAY: 10am to 6pm, at 27 Clarendon Road, Norwich NR2 2PN.

Can you spare a couple of hours or more to help with election canvassing at our next pre-election Action Saturday, only 2 weeks away from polling day?

If so, help is needed throughout the day with door-knocking and there is also lots of leafleting to be done. Please come along and support us if you can - to achieve success at both the local county and European elections on June 4th, we need your help to get our message across on the doorstep. A successful campaign would be a huge boost for the General Election campaign too.

Refreshments are provided for helpers, including a vegetarian/vegan lunch between 1 and 2pm.

We hold a monthly Action Saturday, usually on the second Saturday of every month, which concentrates ordinarily on one ward in the Norwich South constituency. This month, however, we will be working in a number of wards, all of which are important wards for the Green Party in Norwich (in which we either already hold city council seats or have a great chance - with a lot of help and hard work - of breaking through into a new ward). As the June elections fast approach it is therefore important that we do as much door-knocking here as possible, in order to secure the vote - there is lots of support here to build on!

Our base for the day in Norwich - 27 Clarendon Road - is just off Unthank Road and a short walk from the city centre. It is also served by the no. 25 bus from Norwich train station.  The door-knocking and leafleting sessions start at 10am and 2pm, and it would be helpful if you could arrive at one of these times if possible. You will be given plenty of support and guidance on the day, particularly if you haven't been door-knocking before.

For more information, directions, or to offer your help, please e-mail
ngpvolunteers@yahoo.co.ukor phone (01603) 611909.
Emergency number to call on the day if there are any problems or you need help with directions: 07840 040058.

PLEASE ALSO GET IN TOUCH IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP US OUT ON POLLING DAY ITSELF, THURSDAY JUNE 4TH - THIS REALLY DOES MAKE A BIG IMPACT ON HOW WELL WE PERFORM.

It would be great to see you there to help us make the breakthrough in the Eastern region to the European parliament - and also new gains in the local election to ensure a louder Green voice in Norwich and Norfolk.

More on why 20's plenty -- without need for any further 'trials'...

There are a number of reasons for setting a default speed of 20mph throughout the 'unclassified' road network in residential parts of a city such as Norwich. Most important perhaps is that of driver recognition as to what the speed limit is. 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. DID YOU KNOW: A vote of about 10% across Eastern Region on June 4 2009 would be enough to get me elected to the European Parliament... http://rupertsread.blogspot.com
