Wealden Green Party has selected Georgia Taylor to stand for parliament. Georgia is incredibly hard working and is determined to make sure that Wealden's residents are heard in parliament. She will push for a People's Vote on Brexit, and campaign to Remain in the EU. She says No to climate chaos - voting for a Green MP in Wealden will speed up climate action. She will work hard for a fairer Britain for everyone.

Nus Ghani is desperately trying to persuade Wealden voters that she's green (or Green, maybe?) - but a single leaflet of household tips can't cover up for her woeful record of opposing every single pro-environment bill in parliament.

On 15 October 2019, East Sussex County Council has the opportunity to take decisive action on the climate crisis. Will it declare a climate emergency and aim for zero emissions by 2030? Or will it pretend nothing much is wrong, put off urgent, radical change, and choose a target of 2050?

As asthma deaths increase, especially in the South East of England, Wealden District Council has introduced charges for garden waste collection. How will residents dispose of their cuttings this autumn? We strongly expect they'll go back to lighting bonfires - the asthma sufferer's nightmare.

Climate emergency? What climate emergency? When the government enquiry said that Gatwick Airport was the wrong place for a second runway, we all knew Gatwick wouldn't take that sitting down. But their new plans are breathtaking in their arrogance - they're pretending that their emergency runway is a second runway so they can increase airplane movements by 40%, by 2025. That's huge increase in greenhouse emissions, purely to fill Gatwick's owners' pockets.

Green Parties across East Sussex have come together to press the county council to declare a climate emergency when it meets in October.

Following a proposed motion to declare a Climate Emergency submitted by new Green Councillor, Patricia Patterson-Vanegas, Wealden District Council has declared a Climate Emergency and committed to reaching zero carbon emissions by 2050 or earlier. Despite persuasive arguments from Green and other Councillors, the Conservative-led council rejected our calls for a target date of 2030. Planning to take effective action starts immediately, and our Green Councillors will be involved form the start.

On Wednesday 24 July, Wealden District Council votes on whether to declare a Climate Emergency. Following motions from Green Councillors, Patricia Patterson-Vanegas and Keith Obbard, the cabinet has proposed declaring an Emergency, with a target of zero greenhouse emissions by 2050. We say that 2050 is too late - this is an emergency, after all! Patricia will propose a target of 2030. Keith will propose including ecological protection in the declaration. Come and support them!

Wealden Green Party is a successful party. We have increased our share of the vote in most recent elections and plan to do so again.
