In May 2008 a decision was taken to restructure Herefordshire Green Party by creating two branches which reflect the constituency boundaries . It is anticipated that this will enable more effective communication and decision making , and encourage a dynamic local membership.
 
An initial meeting of the Hereford City and South Branch was held on June 18th . Officers for the New branch will be  confirmed at the Herefordshire Party AGM on July. The members who attended June's meeting had a preliminary discussion on priorities for the new Branch, These included: -

1. Establishing a forum for talks and discussions on policies and philosophy to inspire members and potential members

2. Supporting Jaqui Tonge as our prospective parliamentary candidate and Councillor Gerald Dawes .Gerald’s outlined his priorities as a councillor  which were- to establish reform in the conduct of the council, promote the positive aspects of the Green agenda , be responsible and responsive to constituents, challenge the council, including on the renewed pressure for the Hereford bypass , and press the need for an alternative transport policy

3. Keeping  day to day issues alive and providing Green Party comment –  though press releases and letters to the local newspapers 

The new branch will meet on the  first Wednesday of the month starting from Wednesday September 3rd, at Canal Road Day Centre, Hereford at 7.30pm . Please note that there was an error in the recently circulated Greengage and there will be no meeting in July and August other than the AGM.
