Labour draws up dossier naming and shaming Green Party efforts to block environmental projects
Green Party co-leaders, Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay at the local election campaign launch on 4 April in Bristol, in parts of the country, Labour has collated a list of major environmental projects, including plans for solar farms and major wind developments, that have been blocked or opposed by the Green Party., includes examples where the Greens opposed three proposals for solar farms in mid-Suffolk, including one in Somersham where the party voted with the Conservatives to block the plans.
According to one senior Labour source, Labour activists in areas with a strong Green support have been told to take a more “eco-warrior” approach to campaigning in a bid to prevent the party being outflanked from the left. The Greens secured their highest ever number of elected councillors in the 2024 local elections, and became the largest party in Bristol Council, albeit falling short of an overall majority, while it became the biggest party in Hastings Council and made major gains in Suffolk, Lewes and the Forest of Dean.
