2021 - GLD Chair`s Report

In the interests of developing synergy, I thought I would write an article for the Green Liberal Democrat website that would also function as my Chair`s Report to the GLD AGM to be held on Saturday 29th January. So, it would be good to see as many of you there as we can manage to get along.

We hope you all enjoyed a relaxing festive period.

2022 will be an essential year for the Green Liberal Democrats, the party, and the wider environmental movement.

Our Annual General Meeting is scheduled for 4PM on Saturday the 29th January.

Special Interest Group for Doubling Nature

Convenors Cllr Pippa Heylings & Jason Billin

14 September - date subject to change due to guest speaker's availability...

Improving biodiversity by challenging the impoverishment of our declining natural economy.

The group will look at how significant increases in biodiversity might be reached by commitments to `Double Nature` both by government action at a national level, but also, significantly, by actions that can and should be taken by local authorities and community groups in particular.

It's been a great week to be a Liberal Democrat. Green Liberal Democrat Accredited Candidate Helen Morgan defied the odds. Meanwhile, a hard-fought victory for Suzanne Fairless-Aitken in Hexham East took Northumberland County Council out of Conservative control.

The Last Month - November

We said that you would hear more from us. This is the debut edition of 'The Last Month', a new monthly email describing just what we've been getting up to on your behalf.

Be sure to forward this to share how the Liberal Democrats are delivering on green action!

It's been a bumper month for GLD, and our most instrumental in a long time.

Hello all.

I'm Francis, Political Assistant to the Green Liberal Democrats and our first full time staff member.

I wanted to talk a little bit about who I am and the work I have been up to this month, in the first edition of my montly report as part of our pledge for greater transparency.

It was WET!!

Thursday and Friday were lovely sunny days, cooped up in the Green Zone in meetings looking out, so we were looking forward to getting some fresh air on the march! The trouble was that the weather forecast on Fatima`s phone indicated a certainty of rain during the day on Saturday - and the forecasting record for her weather service is remarkable accurate.
