Having been associated with the Green Party since the second half of the last century, I was deeply saddened by the decision not to offer a candidate for the forthcoming election. It was an ill-thought through action.

This decision was taken after Hastings Green Party had elected a candidate unanimously who was more than happy to stand. The fact that this candidate had polled 11 per cent in the local elections recently demonstrates there is a keen interest in the party locally and she was well respected.
