We campaign to win seats on Greenwich Council and Bexley Council to improve the lives of residents across the two boroughs. We also regularly take direct action in the form of litter picks, asking questions at council meetings, guerilla gardening and supporting protests.
You are very welcome to join us at any of the events listed below – and whether you support us or not, do feel free to sign up to our newsletter to stay up to date with our non-partisan updates of what’s going on in the local area.
Very best wishes,
