http://greenhighbury.blogspot.com/2015/05/canvassing-in-islington-today.html
Friday, 1 May 2015. Canvassing in Islington today #greendoorstep. Just a very quick post to say - what a fabulous day out canvassing in sunny Islington today! Here I am pictured with our wonderful Green councillor, and Parliamentary Candidate, Caroline Russell (@highburyonfoot)…. And we met so many people who were undecided between Labour and the Greens, or who had decided to vote Green having voted Labour all their lives. And we met so many people who were voting Green with huge enthusiasm. Everywhe...

Friday, 17 June 2011. Can we trust Islington Labour to safeguard our trees? Last week, the campaign to save two mature plane trees in Richmond Avenue, came to an abrupt conclusion when the trees were unceremoniously chopped down by the Council. As reported by the. Private insurers had said the trees were the cause of subsidence to a large property in the road and that the trees had to go. Campaigner Meg Howarth claims in last weeks's. Executive Member for the Environment Cllr Paul Smith inherited a.

Monday, 26 May 2014. Proportional representation for Islington! As local authorities in Islington. And other metropolitan boroughs ponder how to ensure effective democracy with no, or minimal, political opposition - is it time to bring in proportional representation for local government? For example, in Islington we have 48 local councillors. On yesterday's results with PR this would translate into a small Labour majority: Lab 27, Green 9, Lib Dem 7, Tory 5.

Green Highbury: Solidarity with the PCS Union Strikers!
http://greenhighbury.blogspot.com/2013/03/solidarity-with-pcs-union-strikers.html
Wednesday, 20 March 2013. Solidarity with the PCS Union Strikers! I'm just back from the picket line at Euston Tower, joining representatives of the PCS Union and Unison on their budget day #M20 strike to protest against Government attacks on civil servants' pay, pensions and working conditions. The strikers' demands are simple: fair pay for all civil servants now, and no privatisation of key public services. At the PCS Euston picket line, 20 March 2013. We in the Green Party are clear: the private secto...

Friday, 1 May 2015. Why it is not OK to use kids as free political advertising! Photo credit - Emily Thornberry via Twitter. This week the Islington Labour party were yet again waiting at the school gates of primary schools armed with 'vote Labour' balloons and stickers aimed at children as young as 4 years old. They have form for this. And it isn't the first time someone has suggested that this form of campaigning exploits children. When we challenged Emily Thornberry about this she suggested. The simpl...

Green Highbury: July 2011
http://greenhighbury.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 22 July 2011. Wildlife Vandalism - Drayton Park Sidings. A large number of bird species either nest in or depend upon the sidings, including the great spotted woodpecker, sparrowhawk, kestrel, jay, greenfinch, goldfinch, woodpigeon, the house sparrow (a Red Data Book species, pictured) and many others. Some species will have had their nests destroyed in the devastation, and it is quite likely that their second and third brood nestlings will have been killed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, 2 April 2012. Why Clissold Park needs a Cafe for All (and why it matters! What does the Stephen Lawrence inquiry. Have to do with the recent row. Over the decision to award the contract for Clissold Park cafe to multi-million pound. Catering company the Company of Cooks? At first sight, very little - but bear with me. If, like me, you live on the Islington/Hackney borders, Clissold Park - and its cafe - may well be a big part of your life. What would it cost? Items such as "cumin roast carrot, co...

Highlighting the importance of women's issues in the runup to the general election. (See Green Highbury, 17 April 2010. After two years of coalition government, there is, sadly, little for women to celebrate. An article in today's Guardian. This marks the first era in living memory that British women's freedoms.
