On the 18th March we announced our candidate for the forthcoming by-election in Mark Hall,

Julie Taylor, a long-time resident of Mark Hall Ward, has been an active and dedicated member of the community for many years. Her hands-on approach to addressing local issues—whether it’s picking up litter, reporting pavement and pothole defects, or gathering signatures for petitions—has made her a familiar and trusted figure among residents.

Julie understands the challenges faced by the people of Mark Hall because she experiences them firsthand. She is committed to being a voice for those seeking an alternative to the two-sided council and promises to bring a much-needed sense of maturity and fresh perspective to the chamber.

This by-election is a chance for the residents of Mark Hall to choose a councillor who is deeply rooted in the community and passionate about making a difference. Julie Taylor is ready to stand up for the people of Mark Hall and work tirelessly to create a better future for all.

On the Saturday 28th February the Green Party, organised by Jennifer F Steadman held an 80s 90’s Music Event.

As a result of that event we have been able to make a donation to Tess Dementia’s Memory Cafe of £500. Today, two members of the Harlow Green Party, Jennifer and Julie took a visit to the Cafe to present a cheque to Tess.

Tess says that the money is going towards the hall hire which makes it possible to support many families on a weekly basis. She also said that she is truly touched that Jennifer came to her group with her lovely mum only a couple of times before her mum became unwell but she remembered the Memory Cafe and chose to support.

We think that Jennifer deserves a round of applause and that Tess is doing an amazing job for people suffering with dementia and their families and carers.

Today two of our members, Paul King and Julie Taylor attended the Stand Up To Racism counter protest against the far right in central London alongside Harlow Stand Up To Racism group. Julie said “It was important to go today to show the leagues of Tommy Robinson supporters that racism and fascism won’t be tolerated in our streets. No matter how Mr Robinson dresses it up his agenda is hatred and fear of immigration. Rather than addressing the issues of our crumbling NHS, education, lack of housing etc which are due to 14 years of austerity by a conservative government, their rhetoric is to scapegoat by blaming immigrants.” And Paul said “Today, we came together to ‘show and tell’ REAL British values – tolerance, kindness, acceptance and understanding. All communities, all faiths and all races stood together to call out and silence the bigotry and hatred of the few fascist white supremacist, populist trouble-makers.”

Thank you to the 4342 Harlow residents who put their trust in the Green Party at the local elections. The Harlow Green Party has been on a huge learning curve since July 2021 when Jamie Gilbert stood as a Green Party candidate at the Mark Hall By-election and secured 86 votes. Since then, we have grown, year on year:

• In 2022, Harlow voters could choose a Green Party candidate in all but one of the wards and we were rewarded with 1779 votes.

• Last year, we had full slate, stood candidates in every single ward and took 9% of the votes.

Our tough ask this year was to field 33 candidates due to the Electoral Commission boundary changes. From a membership pool of 41, we knew it would be a challenge so we rolled up our sleeves and managed to put forward 24 candidates. Every ward in Harlow had Green representation and this will give us a firm base to build upon.

As we participate in the second protest against the Stort crossing proposal (Hosted by the Friends of Latton Island) demanding a more thought out, environmentally friendly plan. More information can be found on a link below.

We reflect back to January, When a controversial bill would have seen many aspects of peaceful protest criminalised.

Thankfully, due to a nationally uproar from greens and other organisations, the house of lords were able to stop this bill. Meaning we can continue to fight for what matters!
