To GE 2019 polling day and beyond in Herefordshire

Green Party candidates Ellie Chands (North Herefordshire) and Diana Toynbee (Hereford & South Herefordshire)

Helen Heathfield writes:

First of all - THANK YOU to everyone who's been leafleting and postcarding for Ellie and Diana over the last four weeks. We've been reaching villages I never thought we'd get to across Herefordshire and the level of commitment has been astonishing. Thank you. And please contact me if you can help now we're onto the last five days.

Final hustings
Anyone you know who still needs convincing, send them along to Ellie's final hustings at the Priory Church, Leominster, Monday 9th 7-9pm. 

And it's not a hustings, but still a chance to discuss planning and housing policy for Herefordshire. Wednesday 11th 7.30pm at Hereford Left Bank. Organised by Herefordshire Centre for Community Led Housing.

Ten Bills ready to go
Here's a response to what's sometimes said about the Green Party - "they're only about one thing". There are ten Bills ready to go and here's Ellie talking about them: https://youtu.be/iyzgfaQW5lE
Please copy and paste to share with friends, family and neighbours by email, facebook, twitter and whatsapp when they say "but they don't have any policies!"

Money money money!
Only £100 to go and we've reached Ellie's target!

Tell your friends about Diana's crowdfunder...

Big Green Festive Drinks - Wednesday 18th December 7.30-9.30pm at Hereford Left Bank in the Charles Bar - complimentary mulled wine and mince pies and lots to celebrate about 2019.

And there's life in 2020! Saturday 11th January 6.30-9.30pm GREENFEAST in Northolme Community Centre, Hereford, HR2 7SP.
