Cllr Gareth KitchenA public meeting has been arranged at which local politicians of all the main parties will explain and debate the implications of the proposed reorganisation of local government in Gloucestershire. The meeting, at St Laurence Church, Stroud, from 7-9pm on March 14, will give residents the chance to find out more about the changes being imposed by the government. Stroud District Council and the other five district councils in Gloucestershire, as well as Gloucestershire County Council, are set to be abolished and replaced with large ‘unitary’ authorities. Sitting above these unitary councils would be an even larger ’strategic authority’ headed by a Mayor serving around 1.5m people, over whom local communities may have little oversight or control. The meeting has been organised by Stroud District Green Party, which felt residents deserved to know more about what the changes mean and to allow people to discuss the risks and opportunities for our local communities, services and democracy. There will be speakers from the Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Green parties. Each speaker will present their own perspectives and opinions on the reorganisation, which was announced in the Government’s English Devolution White Paper in December. Entry is free but is by ticket only; tickets are available from <a href="https://www.tickettailor.com/events/strouddistrictgreenparty/1606316" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tickettailor.com/events/strouddistrictgreenparty/1606316</a> or by emailing data@stroudgreens.org.uk Meeting coordinator Martin Whiteside said: “There is little understanding among the public of the implications for local democracy of these changes. Many people say they are not even aware that their local councils are being abolished. And many of those who have heard about the changes are very concerned about what it all means. The Green Party believes it is important to let residents know what is happening and give them the chance to find out more, from politicians across the political spectrum.” Members of the public will have the chance to submit questions at the meeting, which will have a Question Time-style format. Questions can be sent in advance to data@stroudgreens.org.uk. <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/stroud" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stroud</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/devolution" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Devolution</a>

:spacecore: HueyYep, <a href="https://im-in.space/tags/Stroud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stroud</a> has declared, it's Labour as expected. Tories second, Reform a worrying third, just ahead of the Greens. Nazi Girl lost her deposit.

:spacecore: HueyAnyway, our MP tomorrow here in <a href="https://im-in.space/tags/Stroud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stroud</a> will almost certainly be Dr. Simon Opher, an NHS GP. We used to be at his practice, but can't remember if any of the family actually had an appointment with him personally. He's probably OK.

StroudSARA phenomenal turn out today at the trinity rooms to discuss how we, as a community can work together to make our town safe from the creeping fascist agenda. Meticulously planned by hardworking and talented people from The RYSE, CSSD, Stroud District Together with Refugees and of course SAR. We will make sure to share some of the outcomes from the meeting once we have all had time to go through the notes. A fabulous way to ensure we all enjoy a Fascist Free Stroud!! <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/stroud" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stroud</a>

Cllr Gareth KitchenI'm absolutely appalled to discover that there are Nazi meetings are being organised in Stroud towards the end of April. One meeting will celebrate Hitler’s birthday, but if that isn’t bold enough, the other meeting will promote the Protocols Of the Elders of Zion - a fraudulent document from 1903 used by the Nazis and still being used today to incite antisemitism. This is not satire, this is a nightmare reality. It is shocking and unacceptable. ACTION: There is a public meeting from 3pm on Saturday the 30th of March at the Trinity Rooms (Field Road, Stroud, GL5 2HZ) to discuss what action we can take as a community. I'd encourage people to attend. ACTION: If you can't attend I would encourage you to report this to the Police as the material being circulated is clearly incites hatred on protected characteristic grounds. (Public Order Act 1986 c. 64 Part 3A) I've blurred the material so I don't fall foul of the law, but the venue, dates and times remain visible so you can report the event to the Police via their online form as Stroud District Council have advised:- <a href="https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/</a> PS. Stroud District Council have advised that there is very little that they can do to prevent this sort of thing as they are taking place in private venues. PPS. For reasons I fail to understand the administrators of Wotton's Facebook group refused this post without offering a reason from my private FB acct. <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/stroud" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stroud</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/nazism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nazism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/antisemitism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antisemitism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/nazi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nazi</a>

I am part of a group which records plants on the Severn estuary.
