Year Zero

In the beginning, there were two longtime members of Greening Steyning with a shared concern for the future of the planet's ecosystem.  Both were Green Party members, so decided to stand at the 2019 Horsham District Council Elections.  (Bob for Steyning and Ashurst, and Mike for Bramber, Upper Beeding and Woodmancote.)

Thanks to the work of XR and Sir David Attenborough in publicising the issues, and with massive support from local voters, they were both elected to council in May of that year.  Although retired, both already had active voluntary roles in the community, but now the hard work really would begin, as neither had any previous experience of district council operations.

This blog will record their progress as they strive to make Horsham District a greener, fairer place to live, and to ensure that it plays its full part in averting a climate and ecological catastrophe.
