GLD News - September 2019 http://grn.lib.dm/News0919 GREEN LIBERAL DEMOCRATS EMAIL NEWSLETTER , SEPTEMBER 1st 2019 The Executive need to give you, our members, an apology. What with two elections and our own conference, and organising our largest ever programme for federal conference, (not to mention not having an editor appointed) we have failed to deliver the first annual edition of Challenge. This was due to be sent out at the beginning of July. As a result of the publication being delayed, the nomination forms for next year's exec were not sent out. Under the constitution you are all entitled to 60 days before the AGM to receive and process these.
Time for action!!

Political crossroads
(What follows is a personal opinion)

Pippa took part in the Commons debate in Westminster Hall on UK priorities for COP29, the UN climate change conference, on Sep 10th
In one of their first votes in Parliament, the new Liberal Democrat MPs for Cambridgeshire have voted in support of an amendment to the King's Speech which would see action taken on sewage dumping, cost of living and the NHS
Pippa Heylings joined with Cam Valley Forum campaigners on Sunday 19th May for a swim to celebrate Sheep’s Green in Cambridge receiving a Bathing Water Designation
On Wednesday, Conservative MPs including South Cambs MP Anthony Browne voted against a new law which would have seen water companies in court for sewage spills.
The 2024 ENDS Power List for politicians who have championed environmental causes has been published. It is a list of 50 politicians in the country and Pippa is honoured to be part of that list!
