My statement on yesterday's #yomkippurterror attack: www.rtgp.org.uk/2025/10/andr...

I am horrified by the attack on the synagogue in Manchester on our holiest day, Yom Kippur, and the resulting two deaths. May their memories be a blessing.

Wishing the injured full and swift recoveries.

A square graphic image with dark blue rectangle across the top, with the words: My month, Cllr Andrée Frieze, Ham, Petersham & Richmond Riverside, 26 Sep 2025. In the sage green box underneath are bullet points saying: > Pushing the Lib Dem Administration to prioritise walking, wheeling and cycling in its new Transport Strategy > Attended the Richmond Society meeting on the Council's Vision for Richmond Town Centre > Heard residents’ issues at my regular door knocking session, and took them up with Council officers > Supported the MegaSkip event in Ham > Sat on the interview panel for the new Executive Director of Growth and Place > Continuing to help an RHP tenant with a rat infestation In the bottom right-hand corner is a head-and-shoulder picture of Andrée Frieze, a 50-something white woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a blue and white floral patterned coat. A Green Party logo sits above her right shoulder.

It's the end of the month, so here's my snapshot of activities as councillor and Opposition Leader in Richmond.

If you have any issues in my ward, email me via cllr.a.frieze@richmond.gov.uk, or come to the next councillor surgery on Sat 3 Oct, 11am-12pm, in Costa on Ham Parade.

A recent TfL survey found only 16 per cent of people understand key Highway Code rules designed to keep everyone safe.

So I’m glad to see TfL has taken up my recommendation to address the lack of understanding about road rules in the Highway Code -/-

Green members are allowed to dissent from policy. Yet this is not acceptable to Greens 4 Palestine.

Threats of protest and disruption have silenced Jewish voices for peace within the @greenparty.org.uk.

Greens 4 Palestine has stopped Jewish Greens from bringing @standing-together.bsky.social Palestinian and Israeli peace activists to speak at @greenparty.org.uk conference.

Green 4 Palestine has also prevented Green Friends of @ukfost.bsky.social from having a stall at conference.

These posters were put up across Israel to call on soldiers to refuse to take part in an illegal occupation of Gaza that can only bring about more death and destruction. We cannot continue in this nightmare. Everyone must refuse this horrific reality! (1/2)

Got a query or an issue with Richmond Council or about our ward? Come to our councillor surgery today, 11am-12pm in Costa on Ham Parade.

Not building on floodplains is basic common sense as they’re part of the river.

Every new home must protect people from both flooding and extreme heat.

Defeated Green Party leadership candidate Adrian Ramsay MP co-led the Party to an extraordinary quadrupling of its parliamentary numbers at last year’s general election. Three cheers for Adrian! (Pse retweet to agree)

Ellie was excellent on Newsnight last night 🌱 Clear, credible, and focused on keeping our broad appeal so we can win across the country.

Is the Green Party succeeding too slowly? Not from where I’m sitting! 'The strategy we’ve been using has achieved huge results, and in many areas has done this from what was practically a standing start.'

Why are politicians and sanctuary seekers getting such bad press? Richmond Council leader Gareth Roberts defends public servants from media and political attacks, calling out Nigel Farage’s migrant claims.

Well said, Gareth👏
Refugees and asylum seekers are welcome in Richmond - and the UK!

He and @elliechowns.bsky.social have shown they're extremely good at doing this!

A Green rectangle with a Green Party logo in the left corner. In thr middle is a cream circle with the words "It's our councillor surgery today, 11am-12pm in Costa, Ham Parade. Come and tell us about any issues you have. Underneath are black and grey rectangles with the words: Ham, Petersham and Richmond Riverside. A line drawing of a loudhailer overlays the circle in the bottom left.

Got a Council issue? Come to our ward surgery today, 11am-12pm in Costa on Ham Parade. No appointment necessary.

Pick up some goodies from Ham Parade Market while you're there, plus Save Our Land and River postcards to send to Thames Water saying no to the #ThamewSewagePump.

Like Caroline Lucas, I'm backing Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsey to be the next leaders of the Green Party.
I think it's fairer to their constituents for MPs to share the job of leader,
and it's too much work for one person to do both without a lot of help.
also no Caesars...

Ellie and Adrian aren't offering magical thinking. They're offering a strategy that's proven to work. 'Ellie and Adrian understand strategy. They understand the graft. They’re not chasing magic bullets or fantasy shortcuts.'

As @zoenicholson.bsky.social writes so powerfully in Bright Green. @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social aren't offering magical thinking, they're offering a strategy that works.

Let's not throw that success away: bright-green.org/2025/08/01/e....

The photo is a view of rail tracks coming into Richmond Station with a District line tube train waiting at the far platform. Above is sheets of brown metal, with holes punched in them, creating the wall of the bicycle storage. Behind the grills are people labouring. Either side are buildings at the same height and trees.

Good to see the new bike storage at #RichmondStation finally coming along.
Will be great to have somewhere safe to park my bicycle in the town centre.

A white, green and black graphic image. In the green box at the top it says: What I’ve been doing for you in Ham, Petersham & Richmond Riverside, next to which is a picture of Andrée, a white women in her 50s, with mid-length brown hair. Underneath are five ticks down the left hand side, with the following text next to each one: > Brought a Green Opposition motion to Council to introduce emissions- and weight-based parking fees, which the Lib Dems voted down. > Attended the SOLAR-organised ‘NO to the Thames Sewage Pump’ event at The Wharf. > Continue to push for repairs to the RSPCA fountain outside Star & Garter, and ensured officers moved Travellers on quickly from Ham Common - again. > Took the new Chief Exec of Richmond Council on a tour of our ward; and sat on Planning and Joint Staffing Committee meetings. > Supported residents concerned about undue noise from the Lensbury music festival. At the bottom left it says 'Green Party' and on the bottom right '30 July 2025'
