Recent events on the national stage have resulted in a phenomenal surge in Green Party membership in Croydon. As co-leader of our local party, and member since 2002, I can honestly say I have not seen anything like it.
This time last year there were 76 members in Croydon. Last time I checked the number had gone up to 236. The biggest increase is in Addiscombe. It appears that people are rejecting the politics of fear for the politics of hope.
The spike in membership has meant that we are on the lookout for a new meeting space as we have outsized the current venue. If you have a meeting room available, please get in touch with us.
