The County Council elections on 4th May 2017 will see more Green party candidates in Hertfordshire than in any other county in England.
Hertfordshire Greens are fielding a record number of 65 candidates in the election, plus five by-election candidates on the same day. In the previous County Council elections four years ago, Greens fielded 48 candidates in Hertfordshire.
Green candidates are pledging that if elected they will use their influence to put power in the hands of local communities and protect local services. The record number of candidates include dedicated local campaigners that are determined to put power in the hands of local people.
St Albans District Councillor Simon Grover said: “The number of candidates reflects our increased membership and the growing support we’re seeing for a party that puts principles and people first. In these turbulent political times, voters want candidates with honesty and integrity, and that’s what you get with the Greens.”
Future of the Red Cross Hall
In their recent Focus newsletter local Liberal Democrats claim the building is “dilapidated”. Many people thought the site was no longer being used. However, the Red Cross mobility aids service is still open 5 mornings a week and in the afternoon and evening on Thursdays Chris asked Three Rivers District Council for a view. At […]
Local Plan Update
On 17th October Three Rivers District Council agreed to consult residents on a revised Local Plan. Three Rivers Green Party supports the overall approach and the “Low Growth and Green Belt Restraint” strategy. Chris Mitchell and Narinder Sian abstained in the final vote, because the Liberal Democrats refused to remove the British Red Cross Centre […]

Killingdown Farm Development
The Killingdown farm development, which frankly is not popular in Croxley Green, has caused a lot of heartache and issues for the residents living near the site. Green Cllr Chris Mitchell has been working very hard helping residents with issues and liaising with officers in Three Rivers, who are doing their best to keep planning […]
Caring for Croxley Common Moor
Taking a tea break after a shower of rain Parish councillors, Andrew Gallagher and Narinder Sian, joined the Friends of Croxley Common Moor helping to clear overgrown scrub. The Moor is a precious grassland habitat and without proper management brambles, bushes, and trees can overwhelm it. The Friends welcome volunteers to help with a range […]
A Moving Memorial
Greens joined councillors from all over the county to pay tribute Chris and Narinder attended the Holocaust memorial day organised by the Chair of Three Rivers District Council. The Lord-Lieutenant of Hertfordshire, Robert Voss CBE, shared a deeply moving personal story. Thank you to the organisers and speakers.
Gifts for Care Homes
Helping to deliver donated gifts to local care homes For the last 8 years, local resident, Emily Benner has coordinated Christmas gift donations to people in care homes with no loved ones. She has since become a parish councillor and has partnered with local charity Small Acts of Kindness. Chris and Narinder were delighted to support […]
2023 Campaign Launch
The 2023 Campaign launch event held at All Saints’ Church in Croxley Green. Great atmosphere and very positive vibe. Looking forward to the campaign ahead.
Hanging on the line at Three Rivers?
An average eight-minute wait on the district council customer service line before residents get any response could soon be history, after Green councillor Chris Mitchell got unanimous council approval last month for a five-point strategy to improve the service. “Three Rivers is getting a poor reputation for communications from what people tell me,” says Mitchell.
