Since saying "SORRY" only a month ago 3 of the water companies have already paid shareholders £670m in dividends and just 2 of the industry's fat cat bosses have been paid £4,800,00 in salary and bonses. Think on that the next time the industry asks you for another £10bn.

We're also partnering with Lewes Climate Hub to extend our festival programme for three weekends of thought-provoking talks, displays and interactive sessions asking: What do we want travel and traffic in and around Lewes to look like by the end of the decade?

@ecochris_todd @SouthernRailUK @BTP @citycyclists @KatyBourne @WithdeanGreens @CllrJamieLloyd @Bricycles @activetraveleng @KatyCycles @ibikebrighton @Bexonabike Southern Rail and British Transport Police really need to do more. Bikes, electric bikes are expensive and for many people their only transport. We've had thefts at the hub in Lewes Railway Station and the CCTV is monitored at Crawley. Ludicrous.

LDC Cabinet councillor @_chriscollier visited @HavensHub after it landed a £200,000 award from the UK shared prosperity fund. Cllr Collier met Paula Woolven to discuss how the money will benefit residents in local communities lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk/lewes-district…

Lewes District Council (@LewesDC) recently passed the first ever Rights of River motion in England. Cllr Matthew Bird (@mjbirdy), who proposed the motion, explains the reasoning behind the bold step. localgov.co.uk/Granting-river…

Water companies have some of the legal rights we have, why not nature and why not our life sustaining rivers? It's only fair. We can't trust the water companies or the regulators to act in the river's interests. theguardian.com/environment/20…

A ground-breaking motion brought by the Greens has committed Lewes District council to producing a ‘Rights of River Declaration’ within 2 years. This will recognise that the River Ouse has intrinsic rights. #Lewes #ClimateCrisis #SouthDowns #LoveOurOuse #SouthDowns @mjbirdy

Local students have taken climate action through building a series of leaky dams on Chailey Common as part of lessons in natural flood management. Read the full story: bit.ly/3WIa5ms

@jamiefreeman Really sorry to hear this. Lovely guy, big loss.

We are devastated to share the news that Jamie passed away peacefully yesterday after a courageous 10 month fight with brain cancer. His bravery, grace and humour in the face of such a cruel disease have been an inspiration to us all.

@Me84687452 @LewesGreenParty @TheGreenParty They're coming. We've identified locations, carried out feasibility and they will be installed in partnership with connected curb.

@LewesGreenParty @TheGreenParty Any chance of putting in some car chargers then in lewes and Peacehaven areas ? Only there are very few at present , and not a SINGLE one in Peacehaven or newhaven

Fantastic news: more then £2 million gained - for nature, communities and climate. More from @TheGreenParty Councillor Matthew Bird👇

Shocking that it only takes a few drops of rain for sewage to be released into our seas and rivers. Should not have to gamble with your health everytime you swim. itv.com/news/meridian/…

💚 Polling Day! (for #Lewes residents in Castle Ward) 🌳 Get those ❎es in boxes for Green Councillor Milly Manley! 🐝 THE best for hard work, litter-picking & standing up for bees AND residents! #WantGreenVoteGreen #VoteGreen #VoteMilly3rdFeb

There are no limits to this man's moral bankruptcy.

Deeply disappointing failure to act on banning pesticides by the county council - but major hats off to the hardworking new Green Councillors who are making such difference there already

At family activities day @LewesDepot @climateactforum

Great response to COP26 and the climate emergency in the Budget. Halving the duty on short haul flights. The most polluting form of flying! #Budget2021 #ClimateEmergency #chocolateteapot

@AdrianRamsay @TheGreenParty Really good hearing your green vision for global to local climate action!

Really enjoyed speaking to @TheGreenParty members in Lewes district tonight. It was inspiring to hear about the huge impact Green councillors are having on strong local climate action, building affordable green council homes and improving council services.
