In coalition with Herefordshire Independents 2019-23, Greens are proud of what was achieved
Here are just a few examples of what coalition councillors have achieved:
Investing in our market towns – trusting each to spend the money on their top priorities, with £550,000 invested in Leominster’s highways recently
Tackling longstanding issues within some parts of Children’s Services – halving social worker caseloads and investing significantly in recruitment and retention
Securing funding for buses, bikes and better walking routes – such as free weekend buses for a year
Reversing cuts in our libraries – and starting a major project to improve the museum too
Tackling river pollution – working with neighbouring authorities and farmers to find solutions and creating wetlands to soak up pollutants
Reviewing the Balfour Beatty contract – achieving better value for money on road management and saving money by bringing services back in house
Investing in energy efficiency – through the Warm Homes programme and free home energy audits
Supporting families with the cost of living crisis – through a hardship fund and council tax rebates above the national average
Managing flood recovery and covid recovery – for example by rescuing residents from flooded care homes and setting up over 50 Talk Community hubs
