Following the 4 May election, our two groups, the Green Party and the Independents for Herefordshire, have repeatedly expressed our commitment to working cooperatively across party lines wherever there is common ground.

We have repeatedly reached out to you with the aim of finding a way forward for Herefordshire Council that reflects the proportion of the vote received by each political group. A model which your party both adopts and benefits from elsewhere in the country, and that would provide this county with the stability and representation that our residents deserve.  We have been surprised and saddened by your reluctance to consider such a balanced and fair arrangement.

Separately, we have responded positively to your suggestion that the council move to a committee system, in which power would then be shared in proportion to the size of political groups. However, such a shift in governance model would require a full council instruction to officers, and leadership arrangements need to be put in place now, even if they later prove transitional.

Assuming that an early instruction to commence movement to a committee based governance system can be secured, any transitional administration is likely to be in power for at least a year.  It would clearly be completely undemocratic for the county to be run by your group alone, since you were supported by just 24% of the popular vote, and have just 23% (12 out of 53) of the councillors.

Indeed, more people voted for Green and Independents for Herefordshire candidates than for Lib Dems.

We therefore find it extraordinary that your leaders have proposed that the Lib Dems should take all the power for yourselves, even on a temporary basis, and even with your vague suggestion of ‘advisory groups’ supporting the Lib-Dem-only cabinet.  The fact that you have made such an unacceptably undemocratic proposal on a ‘take it or leave it’ basis suggests that you do not seriously wish to cooperate with other groups, and that you do not seriously wish to take on the responsibility of administration.

We find this remarkable, and expect this stance will be surprising and disappointing to the 13,000 residents who voted for you less than a fortnight ago. Since your leaders have demonstrated their refusal to work cooperatively with us, we now propose instead a fair alternative:

1. A joint motion to the next Full Council on transitioning to the Committee system as soon as possible.
2. A transitional administration made up of all political groups, in proportion to their size.
3. That the role of Leader should rotate amongst the participating groups.

We urge you to respond positively while there is still time before this Friday’s council meeting, either to support this broader proposal or to instruct your leaders to move significantly on their currently entrenched position.

Working together, our three groups have a majority of councillors. The Greens and I4H are committed to cooperation; are you? Refusing to alter your own position and rejecting our counter proposal would demonstrate very publicly on Friday that Lib Dems would prefer to enable a minority Conservative administration than share power and cooperate constructively with other political groups.

We reiterate that we believe there is considerable common ground between our groups, and few areas of difference. There is no reason why such a cross-party coalition could not happen in Herefordshire, since our only major substantive policy difference (on the bypass) would need to be decided by a Full Council vote anyway.

We can work together on the many issues where we have common ground, and agree to disagree amicably where we have differences.

The residents of Herefordshire have indicated, through their votes, that no single group has sufficient support to run the council alone.  The logical solution is for a coalition to run the council jointly in the best interests of the county.  We urge you to respect the confidence placed in you by your voters and to cooperate constructively with us for the benefit of all Herefordshire’s residents.

Yours sincerely,

Ellie Chowns,

Leader of the Green group Liz Harvey,

Leader of the Independents for Herefordshire group

Decisions taken in the atrium of Plough Lane on Friday include maintaining a 100% discount on council tax for hard up households and providing a further £1.7m targeted to support people in financial difficulties. Approval was also given to a new flexibility to charge double council tax on second homes and empty properties.

Opposition groups provided no alternative budget proposals and made no suggestions for altering or improving the £380m budget for 2023-24, and their members repeatedly demonstrated their lack of understanding of the council’s finances through the comments made during the four hour debate.

Opposition members clearly felt themselves on firmer ground arguing over how a small amount of additional funding through the Rural Services Grant should best be used and the debate on this 0.2% of the overall budget consumed close to a third of the meeting.

Pollution from agriculture and water companies dumping sewage is having a devastating effect on the River Wye. Herefordshire’s home-grown building industry in the north of the county has been at a standstill for 40 months as a consequence of the pollution crisis, and the county loses £12m every month the ban on development continues.

Independents and Greens proposed to use the funding windfall to accelerate ongoing work to address the pollution and lift the moratorium on development in the River Lugg catchment before it extends to cover the entire Wye catchment – which covers more than 90% of the county area.

Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Bob Matthews’ breakaway Indies wanted the money spent on potholes in rural roads. John Harrington, cabinet member for Transport, argued that the money was maybe sufficient to resurface a couple of rural roads and suggested Conservatives would do better to lobby their local MPs and government in Westminster to properly fund all councils to maintain the road network.

‘The government is failing all local authorities, but particularly rural ones like Herefordshire, by cutting the historical grant needed to maintain over 2,000 miles of rural road network. Just like it is failing in its duties to prevent the ruin of our river systems, rivers which are the remit of a chronically underfunded Environment Agency’ said Cllr Harrington. ‘Our Highways network is £315 million behind in terms of optimal maintenance after 13 years of austerity’. Speaking after the meeting Cllr. Harrington, Leader of the Independents for Herefordshire,  noted that Conservative-controlled Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Shropshire Councils were all proposing Council Tax rises of 4.99% and wondered why Herefordshire Conservatives proposed a 0% increase without any explanation of how to manage record inflation and cuts from central government. ‘I like my fellow Cllrs across the room but I wouldn’t vote them in on their business plan – they have not been paying enough attention to basic economics and to holding our MPs to account for voting to cut hundreds of millions from Herefordshire Council’s budgets over the last decade plus’, he said.

Cllr. Harrington also expressed disappointment at the decision by Cllr Matthews not to back the administration’s proposal to support the county’s building sector by adding £480k to the Phosphate Commission plan, intended to force government, legally if necessary, to back the Council’s plans to save the Wye and Lugg. ‘I thought Cllr. Matthews was the champion for local businesses, that is what he always tells us, his vote yesterday demonstrates he doesn’t understand the urgency of this need, I can no longer take him at his word.’

‘The pollution of our rivers is a tragedy that must be reversed immediately,’ said Liz Harvey as she delivered the budget, urging councillors to support additional investment in the work of the Phosphate Commission to deliver river restoration and to regulate manure use and sewage release.

‘The health of our rivers and waterways is absolutely vital to our economy and our very existence in this county,’ said cabinet member for Economy and Environment Ellie Chowns. ‘We have to take a strategic approach to spending this money.’ The Big Economic Plan for Herefordshire, developed since the council declared a Climate and Ecological Emergency, relies on the waterways of Herefordshire being restored to bring the county’s economy back to life, supporting vital home-grown industries, including tourism, agriculture and hospitality that rely on the River Wye.

Speaking on the investment required for the Children’s Services budget,  Cllr Chowns said:  ‘We need to make this a county that is good for children to grow up in. It is essential we increase expenditure on Children’s Services to address the under-investment and damaging service cuts imposed by previous administrations.’

Whilst agreeing that road conditions were a key concern for residents, councillors felt wider and more immediate benefit could be achieved by allocating an additional £200k from the Rural Services Grant to fund footbridges, styles and gates to help parish footpath groups to improve rural rights of way.

Jim Kenyon made a plea for funds to repair the dire state of the Hereford athletics track, run by Halo. There was support in the room for the reinstatement of the running track but councillors questioned why Halo had not undertaken the maintenance work required under their lease which has allowed the track to fall into disrepair. Gemma Davies, cabinet member for property and contracts, gave an assurance that the council was working with local athletics interests and Halo to find a way forward.

In summing up the debate Liz Harvey, cabinet member for finance, commented: ‘This is not a budget we hoped to be presenting. However, we now have the worst economic and cost of living crisis in a generation alongside spiralling food and fuel costs. We must find a way to deliver statutory services whilst targeting financial support to hard hit households.

‘This budget includes more than £14m of planned savings and efficiencies across a range of council activities and yet we have made sure we remain able to make important investments in our community infrastructure, our transport network, our schools, our economy, our river and our care services.’

‘Council tax remains the fairest way to raise income locally as it ensures that the better off pay a greater proportion of the cost of the services which the least well off rely upon.’

From a humble inaugural meeting on a November evening at The Saracen’s Head in Hereford, Herefordshire Greens have celebrated 40 years of political activism and success in the county.

Forty years ago Herefordshire resident Guy Woodford placed a small advertisement in the Hereford Times, rallying those who believed in political solutions to ecological problems. The extraordinary response packed a backroom of the pub with an active group establishing a Herefordshire branch of the Ecology Party, attracting well-known figures like Jonathon Porritt to the county as activists sought to establish a political wing to promote green causes. The party developed into the Green Party, which has now become a strong and effective force in Herefordshire politics. 

Baroness Jenny Jones, who chaired Herefordshire Greens in 1990 – and who is one of the two Green Party members of the House of Lords – returned for the birthday celebrations at Leominster’s Grange Court. Baroness Jones has been an outspoken campaigner for reform, initiating the Clean Air Bill, lambasting the government for its draconian Public Order Bill, and advocating for proportional representation.

Baroness Jones paid tribute to those ‘hard working members of the Green community’, who laid the foundations for today’s political success. ‘We can make a difference,’ said Baroness Jones, ‘and because of local groups like this the Green Party now has hundreds of elected local councillors all across the country – speaking up for people and planet.’

Former journalist and Green Party activist Pete Blench organised the event with his wife, long-standing Green councillor and community activist Felicity Norman. Pete warmly thanked Guy Woodford, who became the first Green councillor in Herefordshire. ‘And thanks to Vicky Murray and Felicity for putting themselves forward as the first parliamentary candidates of our movement in 1983.’

‘It’s been a long road! We’ve learned how to fight and win local elections, how to work with others and how to enter into partnership as part of the coalition administration of Herefordshire Council.’

Blench noted that despite the first past the post election system, Greens have been more and more successful in recent General Elections, and are now very well placed to challenge the Conservatives at the next election with their prospective Parliamentary candidate Ellie Chowns. 

Ellie Chowns, who previously served as an MEP for the West Midlands and is currently Cabinet member for environment and economy and Green Group Leader at Herefordshire Council, paid tribute to the work of countless Green activists over the years. ‘We are standing on the shoulders of giants’ said Chowns, who thanked Baroness Jones for ‘continuing to be a thorn in the side of the political establishment’. She thanked the dozens of activists in the room for their work in making the Greens such an effective political force: ‘Our success in Herefordshire is thanks to the efforts of all of you here today!’

Herefordshire needs to think strategically about its direction around food production if the county is to develop resilience to local and global challenges. 

‘Diversity is the key to healthy systems,’ said agronomist and peer Natalie Bennett, last week in Kington as Herefordshire Greens celebrate their 40^th anniversary with a discussion around agriculture and the state of county rivers.

Calling for more varied crops, Baroness Bennett said: ‘More than 50% of human calories come from just four crops, that is bad for public health and bad for food security.’

‘What we are seeing with our food systems is not what farmers want, it is what they have been pushed into. We need policy framework and incentives to make this work. We have to have a system that looks after the environment, gives people food and gives farmers an income. We know how to do this.’

Ellie Chowns, Green Party councillor with Herefordshire’s Economy and Environment portfolio, said: ‘Chemicals and fuel cost a lot of money, farmers are articulating that. What we are doing in Herefordshire is trying make economy and environment work together. We have examples of a fabulous generation of farmers in Herefordshire, like Regen Ben from Ross-on-Wye and Richard Thomas farming at Risbury Court,  who are looking to regenerative farming to get off the treadmill of debt and create food systems where people and planet can thrive together.’

Coun Chowns said: ‘Cheap food is costing us the earth and our health, but we also need to make sure food producers have an income. We need regulations that clarify things for everyone, and that work well. We need to create a level playing field – this requires systemic change. We need to build a vision of how farming and our food economy can be different.’

Planning consultant Helen Hamilton has been fighting on behalf of many communities for all consequences of intensive agriculture, particularly poultry, to be taken into account. She said one of the  ‘unintended consequences’ of developing anaerobic digesters alongside poultry units for the English Wye catchment’s 20 million chickens was the 289% increase in maize production in Herefordshire between 2016 and 2020 to facilitate manure management. Environment Agency records for the period also show a 32% decrease in permanent grassland and a 10% decrease in tree, shrub and hedgerow cover over the four year period. 

‘Driven by subsidies, this policy has led to an enormous loss of biodiversity and increase in flood risk to meet just one industry’s needs, and is undoubtedly contributing to the ecological failure of the Wye’, said Ms Hamilton.

North Herefordshire’s Ellie Chowns said: ‘Our country needs a leader who can be trusted to do the right thing, to tell the truth, and to stick to the rules that he asked everyone else to follow. Boris Johnson has demonstrated that he simply can’t be trusted and he can’t tell right from wrong. It’s time for him to go. Our country deserves better. We need to know if our Herefordshire MPs are prepared to defend the indefensible.’

‘Boris Johnson’s failure of leadership is not only damaging trust in public health measures, but he is also allowing other very urgent issues to spiral out of control, including the cost of living, potential war in Ukraine, and the climate crisis,’ said Chowns.

Parliamentary candidate for Herefordshire South, Diana Toynbee, said: ‘Jesse Norman and Bill Wiggin are good friends of Boris Johnson. The people of Herefordshire have the right to know how they view his behaviour. Our message to them is: If he has your full support, does it mean you are happy to leave us with a Prime Minister who is reckless, dishonest and irresponsible, at a time of national and international crisis? If he has lost your support, what was the final straw? We look forward to the answer.’

With Boris Johnson being accused of lying to Parliament over parties held in No.10 Downing Street while the country was in lockdown, the Green Party has said that it is past time for the Prime Minister to resign. Ellie Chowns warned that replacing Boris Johnson with another untrustworthy MP as Prime Minister would not solve the problem.

‘We should be under no illusion that just getting rid of Boris Johnson will fix the culture of hypocrisy and entitlement that has taken hold in our political system. I am worried that we will end up with one charlatan replacing another,’ said Chowns.

‘Whoever is our next Prime Minister should be subject to rigorous scrutiny. They should not, like Boris Johnson and his colleagues, apparently see no problem in lying to the public and to other MPs.’

Despite the challenges of the past year so much energy has gone into transforming how local government serves Herefordshire that we can only be in a stronger position to meet the challenges of 2022. By the end of 2021 I was tired – everyone I spoke to was tired, yet pushing themselves that last mile, committed to meeting the targets we set ourselves. As a Herefordshire councillor it is easy to feel over-whelmed and, at times, utterly useless and frustrated (sitting on the Planning Committee has made frustration a constant companion). Being full of idealistic visions about how we can make our communities more resilient, restore the places we live in – the nature around us, is not enough. The enormity of the task is huge and despite the absolute urgency of needing to act immediately we have to have adequate policies in place that enable us to move our visions forward. That is part of the ongoing task ahead of us – how we use a system not designed for change to adapt to the challenges ahead.

My partner watched Leonardo DiCaprio in Don’t Look Up and shook his head with resignation as he recalled the plot to me. A black comedy where apparently so many missed the point that DiCaprio had to issue a message asking viewers not to take the film literally, and that climate change is in fact the elephant in the room. Later we received a message from America: ‘Don’t give up‘ it urged ‘everything over the next few years will be about the environment‘. I keep that line as my motto for 2022 – don’t give up!

I am proud that my work as a Green Party councillor is supported by six wonderful and committed elected Greens and the Herefordshire Coalition. If you read social media pages and the Hereford Times – this ‘Green council’ should be voted out as soon as possible. As elected members we are castigated repeatedly for prioritising the climate and ecological crisis over a bypass to the west of Hereford – an expensive tarmac plan with no funding, relying on massive house building over a vital aquifer and running rough-shod over the vulnerable and rapidly deteriorating Wye Valley Special Area of Conservation. There have been questions asked about how we make Hereford’s infrastructure more resilient (an Eastern crossing) and how we develop sustainable transport infrastructure, and battles have been fought over the past year as questions emerge over the eye-watering expense of roads like the City Link road.

Trying to convey the extraordinary advances that the council has made over the past two years has been challenging – cleaning up the mess that was left behind by the last administration whilst driving forward our ambitions for a greener, fairer, resilient and sustainable Herefordshire.

It has been a remarkably challenging time to be a councillor. Many of us joined for the first time in 2019 – working together as a coalition and stripping the Conservatives of political control of the administration of Herefordshire Council. We were thrown into the deep end – flooding on a major scale, the Covid pandemic and the collapse of our river ecosystems alongside the collapse of our Children’s Services has put the most immense challenges before us, while communities have grappled with the continued reduction in services and the digitalisation of those services, and the ongoing fallout of austerity on local government. For some of us this will be our last full year in public office – and yet there is so much still to do.

Social care forms a vital part of the council’s service to its citizens. It was devastating to realise the extent to which our Children’s Services had failed some of the most vulnerable – and yet rejuvenating to hear council Leader, David Hitchiner, speak about how the service was being supported through an Improvement Plan and how children would be at the heart of decision making in Herefordshire. Cabinet member for children, Diana Toynbee said the new Children’s Improvement Plan has meant of lot of changes and thanked the teams working within Children’s Services who have risen to the challenge. Covid has also been challenging for many families and there is more demand for social workers. We need to let people know what a fabulous county this is to work in so we can draw the very best to work in our county to make our services fit for the demands of our times.

In the year in which we all learnt to live with Covid a new Chief Executive took up his place in Herefordshire. Paul Walker may not have had an idea of the challenges that faced him when he signed up to lead Herefordshire through tumultuous times of environmental and social breakdown, but he brought with him commitment and enthusiasm for proposals to support the most vulnerable in our communities, create a more circular economy through a new Waste Strategy, improve public transport through a Bus Improvement Plan , achieve social value in how we commission work and services in Herefordshire .

In the year of COP26 there was so much talk about on how we develop new systems. Vandana Shiva talks about a transition from oil to soil and says: ‘This is not a time for hopelessness and despair – this is a time for regeneration‘.

Green Party MP, Caroline Lucas, has been leading calls for a shift in our economics to a Wellbeing Economy. ‘We have a dangerous and outdated economic system designed for growth and profit. We need to redesign economy and we need to redesign new economic goals. Country after country talks about net zero, yet the global economy is set to triple in size over that period,’ she told a meeting last year. Would an economy based on wellbeing enable us in Herefordshire to look after the needs of our children, our places and our nature? Will we be able to avoid the patterns of economic growth that correlate directly with increases in harms to all of those things that are most precious to us? Ellie Chowns (Green Party) cabinet member for Economic Development and Environment believes that we can do things differently. She told a Friends of the Earth meeting that we can change the way money is spent from changing support for something that doesn’t work towards a net-zero world – to something that does.

The covid recovery plan of more than £6 million has been supporting employment, health and well-being and supporting people to get into the towns to help rejuvenate the high street while giving people confidence to get out and about. A lot of councils have made parking free and that was one of the proposals that came forward. We said: ‘that doesn’t really compute with our commitment to sustainable transport‘, we shouldn’t be subsidising car parking – we should be putting that money into buses and bikes to achieve the same thing, and that is why we can now support free Beryl bikes over the weekends and during Cop26 and why we can put on free weekend buses

So much really important work has gone on into looking at how the council functions, how it interacts with the communities it serves and how we can improve that in a time of vastly reduced funding and increased challenges, how we look after the most vulnerable support veterans; and domestic violence victims and homelessness . How do we support our LGBTQ+ communities, how do we support our youth and nurture the young creative minds that are emerging in Herefordshire? How will we work together to push for action on our fragile and failing river systems ? How will we encourage more women to stand forward and have their voices heard in the decision making processes that affect our local communities and become represented in local government ?

How we respond to climate change will be really important over the next year. As leader of the Green councillors, Ellie Chowns believes Herefordshire is making really good progress: ‘This is a tribute to officers, activists and our coalition of Independents and Greens – we have a fully shared agenda. There is a really strong bedrock of cross-party support for action on climate change which is really important. It is exciting that we are working cooperatively in Herefordshire. There is so much to do and of course the urgency is enormous and we are not getting any of it done quickly enough‘. But progress is being made. There will be a Citizen’s Assembly in January and a Climate and Nature Partnership has been established to drive a county response to the challenges. There is so much to be proud of – so much work still to do. Herefordshire Coalition have a vision – it would be a shame if that vision was scuppered by our inability to solve the transport issues that plague the city and our rural areas. Transport will be used as ammunition from our antagonists as we build up to another local election. Let’s hope that the choices that we make do not boil down to a mere road.

It is the nadir of the year, but the axis is turning. Soon it will be spring and there is work to be done – it’s a collective job – all of us instrumental in our tiny efforts that will create the sea of change we believe is possible.

Next week the UK will host the crucial ‘COP 26’ climate meeting in Glasgow.  People all over the world will be hoping and praying that political leaders put their differences aside and find common ground.  After all, climate change is a shared global crisis and a shared global responsibility.

Here in Herefordshire we know how important it is to live in balance with nature. We all want future generations to inherit a beautiful and healthy world.  We actively work to protect and restore our rivers, soils, trees and wildlife.  We know that we need to look after the natural world.

Climate change is something that binds everyone together. We all share one planet, so we need to share responsibility for fixing the problem.

I serve on Herefordshire Council, and we’re playing our part. We’ve recognised the scale and urgency of the climate crisis, and we’re on track to be zero carbon by 2030.  For example, we’re making sure that all the new homes and schools we build are incredibly energy efficient.  

We’ve set up an independent Climate and Nature Partnership.  And we’ll be running a Citizens’ Climate Assembly in January, involving Herefordians from all walks of life in deciding policies and priorities for climate action.

We need the same level of commitment from national and global leaders, too.

The UK government recently announced more targets, but still nowhere near enough funding. The money they allocated to heat pumps last week is only 5% of what’s needed to meet their own target.  And there’s still almost nothing for home insulation.

It could be so different.  With proper government funding, a local-authority-led home insulation scheme could slash household bills and eliminate fuel poverty.  At the same time, it would create many tens of thousands of decent, stable, well-paid, high-skill jobs across the country.  That is the sort of commitment we need from the UK government.

So: COP 26 is crunch time for the climate. We need to make sure that political leaders hear our voices, and feel the weight of responsibility.  We need them to find common ground, to be brave, to think beyond self-interest and to do the right thing for future generations. We all need COP 26 to be a success.

FREE weekend bus travel throughout Herefordshire has been welcomed by those advocating sustainable transport in the county.

‘At last a local authority that is travelling in the right direction,’ responded Herefordshire Sustainable Transport Group to the announcement that a partnership with local bus operators and Herefordshire Council has resulted in free weekend bus travel from 4^th September.

‘Over the last thirty years Herefordshire has seen a serious contraction of its bus network,’ HSTG told its members. ‘The result of this has been drastically felt in rural areas leading to increased examples of rural isolation and deprivation particularly affecting young and old alike. It is to be hoped that this welcome initiative by Herefordshire Council heralds a long awaited turn in the fortunes of the rural bus. The Bus Service Improvement Plan currently being drawn up will now need to pay attention to the shortfalls in weekday services. Well done Herefordshire.’

Herefordshire’s coalition administration has responded to the crisis in public transport in the county alongside government ambitions to change the fortunes of bus transport. A government paper on the vision for buses in the UK, Bus Back Better says buses: ‘bring people to jobs, study and local services; they liberate people who are old, young, disabled and isolated; they save millions of tonnes of carbon and pollution, and thousands of miles of traffic jams. The double decker bus is a symbol of Britain. Yet for decades, buses have been largely ignored by policymakers.’

Coalition councillor John Harrington said he was delighted to be able to offer free and unlimited weekend travel for about a year through the Covid-19 Recovery Fund. ‘By making it easier and cheaper to get around, the scheme will help connect people and communities provide a kick start to the local economy by getting people back into enjoying our vibrant city and market towns.’

Coun Harrington encouraged residents to develop their own ‘bus-it list’ – selecting locations, journeys, and experiences in the county, like Herefordshire Art Week, can be enjoyed thanks to free bus travel.

New Sunday services have also been introduced on primary routes throughout the county. These include:

34 Ross-on-Wye – Monmouth; 36 Hereford – Monmouth; 40 Ross Town service; 401 Leominster Town service; 420 Bromyard – Hereford; 426 Hereford – Bodenham; 454 Hereford – Fownhope; 461 Kington – Hereford; 492 Leominster – Hereford; 496 Leominster – Shobdon – Pembridge – Eardisland circular; 600 Ledbury Town service and 675 Ledbury – Colwall – Great Malvern
