GREEN PARTY ELECTION CAMPAIGN LAUNCH
The Green Party are celebrating the official launch of their General Election campaign with an evening event featuring live music from local artists. Mike Shone, the Green Party’s General Election candidate for Stafford said “For the first time, voters in Stafford will have the option of voting Green at the General Election. We are celebrating this with a great evening of live music and entertainment. The event will also be an opportunity for people to meet me and share their views in a relaxed, social environment. I am also delighted and feel very fortunate to have so much support from Stafford's creative community, who I can’t thank enough.”
Running from 7.30pm until 10pm at The Pie and Ale House, formerly The Surgery, in Crabbery Street, on Saturday 20th March, the ‘Green Launch’, as it is being dubbed, has a long line-up loaded with local talent.
