🌿 Green councillor Andrew Stringer on the importance of protecting the gaps between our settlements: “It’s those gaps that make the fundamental character of a rural area - places for wildlife, places for people, and places where you can just breathe.” 🎥 Watch below.

Delighted to kick off my constituency tour, visiting village halls and pubs across Waveney Valley. I promised to be your voice in Westminster, not Westminster’s voice in Waveney Valley. Check your local Facebook page for a stop near you!

I'm delighted that the real boss of our house, Bella, has been crowned Purr Minister of the UK. We are a nation of animal lovers, and I am proud to play a leading role in championing animal issues in Parliament. Animal protection isn’t a side issue.

Come to a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing at Cavendish Hall, Thurston (IP31 3RU) on Mon 3 August to arrive from 7pm for screening at 7.30pm. Open to all for free and then a discussion with people in the community about the changing climate and what we can do.

Across the country, wildfires are raging. The Prime Minister needs to call a COBRA meeting and treat the climate crisis with the urgency this moment calls for.

"As a representative of Suffolk County Council today here in Suffolk, as they fight the fire on Dunwich Heath, I want to say a huge thank you to our fire service and everyone that works there." Andrew Stringer, Leader of the Green Party Group at Suffolk County Council. #Suffolk #Dunwich

Britain has entered a new climate reality, and the Government hasn't grasped it. Last week I led a debate on extreme heat and the cross-government action needed to protect us. Here's some of what I said.

"£24m of Reform UK donations for leaflets came from fossil fuel invested people and climate deniers. "We do have renewable technology which we can use. We can wean ourselves off fossil fuels." Robert Lindsay, Green Party councillor for Cosford, Suffolk County Council #Suffolk #VoteGreen

“I’m the opposite of concerned because I think this is going to expose the Labour Party, who often say they'll be different when they've got rid of Keir Starmer.” Zack Polanski on whether Labour will really change under Andy Burnham.

It's deeply irresponsible of Reform-led councils, like the one here in Suffolk, to be taking backward steps on climate and nature. Firefighters are battling extreme heat while Reform councils stick their heads in the sand to please their political donors.

Which Andy Burnham turns up to Downing Street is crucial. I really hope it's the non-tribal mayor who listens across party lines and thinks long-term (and not the Iraq War and PFI-backer)

While ordinary people struggle every day to pay the rent or mortgage - Andrew was not only living in a palace for almost nothing, he was subletting them for cash. The greed of the wealthy elites in this country is breathtaking.

The first duty of any Govt is to keep the public safe. @thecccuk.bsky.social could not be clearer. On our current path, by 2050 nine in ten homes could be at risk of overheating and 40°C heatwaves may become common across the UK. That is why we need a dedicated Climate Protection Unit in No. 10.

I am delighted that Eye now has a permanent post office again. For far too long, residents have been left without this vital service. With no bank in the town, having a post office is crucial for businesses and residents.

I’m proud to be supporting #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Action for Mental Health means recognising that small steps can make a real difference, whether that is checking in on a friend, taking time to rest, speaking openly about mental health or reaching out for support.

Average wages in Mid Suffolk are £5,500 lower than the national average. That is why Cllr Andrew Stringer and Mid Suffolk District Council secured £16 million in funding to build a new skills centre, helping the community to gain skills, access better jobs, and earn higher wages.

On Thursday, you’ll have an important decision to make. The work of Councillors may not be glamorous and is often overlooked, but it has a real impact on daily life across our communities. I've written in East Anglia bylines on why you should vote Green this week.
