2 April 2011. A Green Party stall was set up on George Street at lunch time today. It was run by Green Councillors and candidates from Central Hove (Chris Hawtree and Anthea Ballam), Brunswick and Adelaide (Phelim Mac Cafferty and Olley Sykes) and Goldsmid (Cllr Alex Phillips and Ruth Buckley) and Green MP Caroline Lucas. Rob Jarrett, the other Green Candidate for Goldsmid sent his best wishes from the meeting of the European Green party he is attending this weekend.
The stall promoted the:
• Fresh Start for a Fair City Manifesto,
• Petition for 20 is Plenty,
• Petition for more school places (since the new Connaught Primary School does not provide for Junior places, nor enough primary ones),
• The Sustainable Communities Act Consultation which may enable communities to call on government to allow them to control the type of shops that serve them - such as the number of supermarkets.
• Chris Hawtree reported that he was having success recruiting activists and helpers who were otherwise unknown to the Green Party.
