Sandals and lentils? Not so much. We're just normal people who have realised that if we want a decent place to live, we have to stand up and campaign for it. If you don't want Reform's incompetence and division, now is the time to do something about it! join.greenparty.org.uk #hertfordshire

❌Economical with the truth❌ Tories cut the funding at Central Gov, Labour have not reinstated it. Fanshawe Pool is facing closure because of the Conservatives actively deciding not to invest in the pool-twice! Greens want to save Fanshawe pool, and Green-led Town Council have offered £120k for 2yrs.

Every day the cruel two-child benefit cap pushes an additional 109 children into poverty. Keeping it is a political choice. Scrapping it would lift 300,000 kids out of poverty overnight. The government needs to scrap the cap immediately & give every child the chance to thrive.
