Tomorrow you can vote for your fantastic Green Party candidates, Ellie and Kathy. Like you, they both live in Odd Down and know the issues around living and raising a family here.

You can find out about them and our policies at https://bath.greenparty.org.uk/local-elections.html

Remember, in Odd Down the Greens easily beat both the Tories and Labour. In Odd Down it's a two horse race between the current 'more of the same' Liberal Democrats or real change with the Greens.

You may see misleading leaflets like this one coming through your doors on the run-up to the election telling you 'it's the Lib Dems or the Tories in Odd Down'.

They are not true. The fact is that the Lib Dems won in Odd Down last time and the Greens came second.

Both Green candidates easily beat both the Tories and the Labour candidate, by a considerable margin.

If you want change in Odd Down the party to choose is the Green Party. The Tories are very, very far from winning here, and it's disappointing that the Lib Dems are resorting to these tactics.

Volunteers attended a small gathering recently to celebrate another milestone in the long campaign to get the Workhouse Burial Ground at Odd Down properly recognised and to create a place of memory and reflection.

An information board outlining what life was like for those who lived in the workhouse has been unveiled on the site. It gives background details on some of the ordinary people who lived in the workhouse, the conditions they lived in and what happened to them when they died.

The burial ground contains the unmarked graves of more than 3,100 people who died in poverty in the Bath workhouse between 1858 and 1899.

The project received funding from the Bath Neighbourhood CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) and Odd Down Community Association and is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The event was attended by local historian John Payne whose booklet, Workhouse to Hospital, gives a background to the site and life in the workhouse in the second half of the 19th century.

News on Entry Hill golf course. Do you use it? Would you rather see it used as something other than a golf course? https://www.bathecho.co.uk/news/politics/proposals-entry-hill-golf-course-discussed-next-month-90405/

One proposal will see a company take on the management and maintenance of the course.

During this crisis we want to highlight the brilliant work of Green councillors and their essential role of scrutinising councils of all colours all over the country who may be using the crisis to bypass democracy, as in the case below.

You don’t have to control councils to hold them to account, but it’s vital to elect Greens.
