Bus campaigner Marie gave another passionate update about the campaign for a bus service at last night's #Netherne ResidentsAssociation AGM. She referred to a presentation made earlier in the month to the new East Surrey Council cabinet member for Transport.
Two big events in #Merstham. At 9am, it was the Big Litter Pick, and then at 11am, the gates opened for the Quality Street Fair. Well done all the volunteers. Humbled to be part of your team.
Council projects take an absolute age to complete. Is this down to adequate staffing, especially with a local government reorganisation to add into the mix? #HarlequinTheatre #Netzero #renewableenergy

Once again, yesterday's Netherne Family Fun Day delivered great vibes. The unique thing about the event is that all the activities are free, including football darts and Zumba (both in the picture).
The Green Party say they will not stand in the Clacton by-election either. Zack Polanski: "This is a desperate stunt from a desperate politician whose lifetime of grifting is finally catching up with him. Greens will play no part in his political circus"

Voters of every major party want water and energy in public hands. Labour, the Tories and Reform want more of the same: private profit over public interest. It’s time for public ownership.

"The Council will operate in a very challenging financial environment, with significant budgetary pressures." The above appeared in the agenda papers for the first ever East Surrey Council meeting Ruling Lib Dems amended the IRP recommendation, so pay was higher for 1st year for cllrs?!
Joel and I managed to beat the Conservatives and stop Reform in Merstham and Banstead South
Nelson’s Bar in Hooley is the polling station because Hooley Village Hall is closed due to its poor condition. Are there any other bars being used today? #votegreen
Can you feel gutted and proud at the same time? Merstham FC getting beaten on penalties last night has left me this emotion. ##nonleaguefootball #Surrey Senior Cup v Farnham
Delivered the latest leaflet in #Hooley #LowerKingswood #Mugswell and #Merstham over the Bank Holiday Easter weekend 🐣 Spatulas are a game changer for pushing leaflets through letter boxes!
The sequence of meeting animals (horses and then lambs) on Saturdays through the campaign continues with a selfie with #Merstham FC's legendary club mascot Bumblebee Bob! We teamed up to sell tennis balls for the half-time challenge. #nonleaguefootball

Last Saturday, it was horses in #LowerKingswood. This Saturday (28th March), it was lambs in #Merstham . Next Saturday, ostriches in #Hooley?? The animals you meet while out canvassing!
We were getting ready for our obligatory #ActionDay photo in #LowerKingswood when a couple of horse riders stopped to ask who we were. We told them we were the @eastsurreygreens.bsky.social —and they said they were #GreenParty voters! So of course, they joined us for the selfie. 😊
Great to catch up with @sianberry.bsky.social at last Saturday's #ActionDay in #EastSurrey. In her speech Sian said she joined @greenparty.org.uk in 2001. That's one year before me. I was in the 2002 intake! @eastsurreygreens.bsky.social #VoteGreen
Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.
