The leader of the national Green Party of England and Wales, Natalie Bennett, will appear at an event at Newport Football Club on the evening of Wednesday the 9th September, beginning at 7:30pm.

The event will outline the Green Party's strategy for the Island, as an alternative to the policies of austerity, privatisation and fracking being pursued by the Conservative government.

Parliamentary candidate Vix Lowthion, who will also be speaking at the event, obtained one of this year's highest results for the Green Party in the whole of the UK, beating Labour, Liberal Democrat and independent candidates. In both the 2009 and 2014 European elections also, more Islanders voted Green than Labour or Liberal Democrat.

Island residents are faced with many questions about the future of our children's education, our parent's care, employment for ourselves and our children, housing, the cost of transport, and keeping our unique way of Island life. The Island is a beautiful, green environment with great potential.
