Good news on Earth Day: 99% of growth in global electricity demand last year was met by solar and wind.

We'll keep fighting the vested interests of the fossil fuel industry and their efforts to spread climate denial to protect their profits.

For people and planet.

Hertford Green-led town council is investing to improve our town not only with the Castle Grounds regeneration project, but also by renovating the historic Seed Warehouse & by continued funding of our own Hertford Museum (which would struggle without council support) & that’s just for starters! 💚💚

Sele residents asked for Footpath 94 to be cleared. Mud on the path was a problem for pushing buggies. Fly tipping and litter were a health risk for children walking to Hertford St Andrew's.

Green councillor Rachel Carter @cllrrachelcarter.bsky.social got the path restored. Looks much better now!
