We were heartbroken to learn of the directive issued by Reform-led Staffordshire County Council to all 42 libraries, ordering them to strip down their Pride displays, cancel all connected/themed events, and remove any LGBTQIA+ content from their social media profiles.

This is targeted discrimination and intentional erasure of q***r voices. During Pride month, no less.

Libraries are public spaces where everybody can go to access resources they may not otherwise have access to. They are not institutions to be used as weapons in Reform's war on vulnerable people.

In the Green Party we believe Pride Month is more than a celebration. It is a stand for our rights, our freedoms and all that the LGBTQIA+ community has fought for.

We are proud to be a party with some of the best LGBTQIA+ policies, and we understand what our community still faces. But our message is simple: every LGBTQIA+ person has the right to be here, to be loved, to be proud and to live openly without fear.

We are not going anywhere.”

That is why we are happy to announce that East Staffs Green Party will be returning to Burton Pride on Saturday 27th June, from 12pm to 6pm.

We look forward to seeing you there.

The time for this to become law is now. As we have experienced two extreme weather temperatures in May this year, it is not right to see 30°C plus on two days in the same week. People shouldn't be made to work in those kinds of conditions; it's a health hazard. As a national party, we are calling on the UK government to set a maximum temperature law in the UK.

Struggling to work in the heat?

The government needs to listen to the Climate Change Committee and TUC who are calling for a maximum workplace temperature cap.

Fantastic Jack and other volunteers have been out this morning listening to the concerns of residents in Stretton. We want to help you and the best way to find out how to do that is by listening to your concerns.

What is Burton HOPE?

Burton HOPE is a local homeless charity, the largest food bank in East Staffordshire and a support centre, dedicated to assisting people in need across Burton-on-Trent and beyond. The organisation works closely with individuals who often feel forgotten and gives them a sense of belonging.

The charity is run totally by a huge number of unpaid volunteers, led by its chair, John Anderson, who wanted to give something back to a community that is facing real and growing challenges. After seeing how hard life can be for people struggling day to day, he helped build Burton HOPE into an organisation that focuses on action, dignity, and support for those who need it most.

Burton HOPE was the first organisation in Staffordshire to be awarded The Kings Award for Voluntary Service.

Burton HOPE has become an integral part of Burton.

Let’s not lose
