Members of the East Lothian branch of the Scottish Green party
are pledging to step up their campaigning in the county following a successful
Annual General Meeting in North Berwick.
Over the past year East Lothian Greens have highlighted a range
of local issues relating to the economy, public health and democracy. These include
revealing the extent of air pollution in Musselburgh, calling for local
communities to have a say in the decision to replace the Cockenzie power
station, and backing local residents who opposed the Dunbar incinerator
development.
Party members have also been involved in local campaigning for a
Yes vote in the Scottish independence referendum in September.
The branch will continue to be co-convened by Susan Moffat and
Eurig Scandrett, both from North Berwick.
Newsletters highlighting the work of East Lothian Greens are due
to be distributed to households in several parts of the county in the coming
weeks.
Co-convener Susan Moffat (right) said:
“We look forward to building on the work we’ve done over the
past year. With the opportunity to help elect Scotland’s first Green MEP in
May, and help secure a Yes vote for independence in September, it’s going to be
a busy year ahead.
“We have recently welcomed some new members and would
encourage anyone interested in supporting our work to get in touch.”
