According to Robert Jenrick, Reform could 'take control' of Darlington council, in the upcoming local elections. We can't let that happen. We've seen the chaos that Reform has brought across the North East already. There is still time to spare Darlington the same fate.

It's a lot of work to be a Green councillor! That's because we actually show up, day in, day out, to improve life for people in Darlington. Often, this involves litter picks, planting an area that needs some love, these 'small' changes can make a huge difference to the people living in those areas.

Darlington's ahead of the curve! Andy Burnham might have announced Number 10 North, but Darlington's had the Northern version of the Treasury since 2022. Devolution should mean greater power for everyone in the North - not just a few wealthy landowners.

WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY

For Stef, and for everyone who feels like they're drowning in a change they never asked
tor.
In October 2025, I lost my sister-in-law to suicide.
She was going through menopause, and watching someone you love struggle with changes to their body, emotions, sleep, identity and mental health can be incredibly difficult. What I wish more people would understand is that menopause is not simply something to "get through." For some women, the psychological impact can be profound, and the distress can feel overwhelming.

But suicide is preventable. A woman struggling during menopause deserves to be heard, believed and supported - not dismissed as hormonal, dramatic, or simply "part of getting older."
Please check in on the those you love. Ask how they really are. Listen without judgement.
Encourage them to speak to a GP or mental-health professional when things feel too much.
And if someone tells you they don't want to be here anymore, take them seriously.
You don't need the perfect words. Sometimes saying, "I'm here. I'm listening. You don't have to face this alone," can be the beginning of getting someone through the darkest moment.

I will always wonder what could have been different for Stef, if her GP had listened to her. I cannot change what happened, but I can speak her name, honour her life, and help make sure other people don't suffer in silence.
Please talk. Please listen. Please take suicidal thoughts seriously.
If you are struggling right now, please reach out to someone you trust or seek urgent professional help.
In Darlington, you can call Mind on 01325
283169
If you are in immediate danger, call 999.

Friday’s emergency alert is a stark reminder of what we're all facing right now with climate change. This system was introduced to be an early warning system to alert us all about extreme emergencies, including the possibility of serious natural disasters such as wildfires.

Severe Alert

Issued by the UK Government

There is a very high risk of wildfires nationally. Residents, landowners and visitors should not undertake any activity that could start a fire, including disposable barbecues, firepits, garden incinerators or fireworks.

Even a small flame can rapidly develop into a major wildfire placing lives, homes, businesses and emergency responders at risk.

Follow official updates and report signs of fire immediately by calling 999. Search gov.uk/alerts for more information.

It's A-Level results day! This is a bit of a cliche but young people are the future: schools & colleges are doing amazing work to make sure that future is 'bright' The Green Party has long supported the lowering of the voting age to 16, because we know young people are vitally important to the UK

A-LEVEL RESULTS DAY!
CONGRATULATIONS *
Well done to those who got the results they wanted and to those who didn't as well!
The REAL results are the hard work you put in!
