This month we’re meeting in Brentwood on Wednesday June 26, from 7pm, at The Peasants’ Revolt on Kings Road – handily between the station and High Street.

And you’ll hopefully get the chance to chat with the local constituency candidate, alongside meeting up with fellow Green members and supporters ahead of the July 4 poll.

Hoping to say hello on the night will be RJ Learmouth, our candidate in Brentwood and Ongar; although sadly Reza Hossain, our candidate in Chelmsford, is unable to attend this time.

All members and Green supporters will be very welcome to join the political chat and add their thoughts to our Election discussions!

The ‘Meet the Candidates’ event, will take place that Monday evening at Old Brentwoods Club in Ashwells Road in Pilgrims Hatch north of the town centre, with RJ able to discuss Green policies for the election with the other constituency candidates.

“This is a unique opportunity for the constituents of Brentwood and Ongar to meet all six candidates at one time and to put questions to them, so it should prove to be popular,” said Chamber chairman Colin Barber.

There will be informal networking at the bar from 6:30pm, with the formal part of the event commencing at 7pm.

The event is open to everyone in the Brentwood and Ongar constituency. There is no charge to attend the event, but the Chamber do ask you to register in advance at: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/brentwoodchamber

After last week’s announcement of the General Election for July 4, RJ said: “I’m looking forward to offering voters in Brentwood and Ongar a credible alternative to the old parties.

“The Green Party offers a transformative and hopeful vision of what our country can be; a fairer and greener society, where people have financial and energy security, where people can lead happier and healthier lives in a good quality and affordable home, and where the reality of the climate emergency is given the urgent attention it needs.”

RJ, who grew up in South Essex and works in Brentwood, added: “Greens across the country are already representing their communities and working honestly and collaboratively for the common good.

“We can have representatives who bring this kind of hard work and integrity back to public office, and this is what I offer. I want to put the urgent needs of our community back at the top of the agenda.

“If you share these values, I urge you to vote for and join the Green Party, and support our mission to build a fairer and greener country.”

RJ’s comments were echoed after the election was called by Green Party co-leader and parliamentary candidate for Waveney Valley, Adrian Ramsay, who said: “We are ready. Across the country people will have the chance to vote for a Green candidate offering voters hope and practical solutions to the cost-of-living crisis, supporting people into warm, affordable homes, protecting our NHS and cleaning up our toxic rivers.”

Ramsay added: “We are offering the common sense, affordable policies that will dramatically improve our quality of life. More Green MPs in Parliament will hold whoever forms the next government to account, and make the other parties confront the challenges our country faces. Together, we can make the change.”
