GET INVOLVED IN YOUR LOCAL GREEN PARTY
There has never been a better time to get involved with the work of the Green Party.
Any help you give us, from a regular donation, to working on the doorstep will make a real difference in getting more Greens elected so we can create a fairer, cleaner, more affordable future for everyone.
Your local Green Party is growing.
With many new members each month, The Green Party is the fastest-growing political movement in Southend.
From Leigh to Shoebury, our volunteers across the city are organising community events, starting petitions, and organising whole campaigns to better our area. With recent gains in the last local election, our members are understandably excited.
Some of our current campaigns:
We campaign on local, national and international issues and stand candidates in Local and General elections.
The Green Party works round the clock fighting for a fairer greener community.
We're passionate about ensuring that every voice is heard, and we stand up for what matters.
Tackling Litter
Our members have been conducting street cleans of our neighbourhood, and directly tackling the litter problem on our streets.
We don't just report a problem, we fix it. If you have a litter problem near you, let us know!
Better Infrastructure
We're campaigning for improvements to the town's cycling and walking infrastructure.
We push the council for new safe segregated cycle routes, more cycle-specific street furniture, better pavements and lighting, and clearer signage.
Sustainable Development
We challenge the council to commit to building our city sustainably. We will safeguard our green belt spaces by developing on brownfield land first.
We strive to ensure that all Southend’s residents have a safe, warm, and efficient place to call home.
WORKING FOR SOUTHEND
Our Green volunteers are already winning against major developers, turning the tide against litter, and helping build communities.
Imagine what we could do with your help.
Even if you don't want to make the commitment of joining us, we always welcome supporters and volunteers.
Our group of environment enthusiasts are often found litter-picking and working to improve our Green Spaces.
Whatever your level of experience and however much or little time you can give, we would love to hear from you.
READY TO SIGN UP?
Want to come to our fun social events, interesting talks, and our famous litterpicks?
Could you help deliver leaflets to your street, or go out with our campaign team and speak to local residents about their concerns?
Could you take part in our Action Days, and join us on the streets to win campaigns and elect more greens?
Could your idea for a community campaign be the next good news story for the town?
