28th April - 4th May is Reusable Nappy Week! To find out more, we spoke to three local parents who had used reusables and hear about their experiences. Herts Nappy Service is also a great source of information and a chance to try before committing. eastherts.greenparty.org.uk/2025/04/29/r...

Why the UK’s electricity costs are so high – and what can be done about it From nationalising gas plants to boosting renewables, how soaring prices could be tackled

This is *really* important: the reason electricity prices are high is the high cost of gas & that market rate is set by gas prices. One of the loudest calls at Everything Electric last week was to decouple from gas prices, so we benefit from cheaper renewables.

Thames Water have been allowed to add another Β£3 billion to their existing Β£19 billion of debt.

They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure.

It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.

Trump's threats of ethnic cleansing in Gaza are abhorrent and the UK government must stand firmly against them

What a great start to #NationalAstronomyWeek at the #DarkSkies event in Hertford. We had a screening of The City Dark film followed by a light switch-off and stargazing with astronomers from Bayfordbury Observatory in Hertford Castle grounds. Frosty and fantastic! #NAW
