We are disappointed to see continued claims from Stroud Labour that “only Labour really understand how important Community Hubs are for local communities to come together”.
Apart from the fact that it seems odd that Labour would want to politicise the community hubs, this statement is a complete falsehood.
It ignores the funding given to the hub network by Stroud District Council and Stroud Town Council, and the fact that many Greens are actively involved in their local hubs as volunteers.
Labour has been peddling throughout their election campaign the untruth that the Greens voted with the Conservatives at Shire Hall to cut funding for the hubs.
Again, this is a distortion of the facts, as the Labour canvassers know. The minutes of the County Council meeting in question can be read. Click here to read the relevant minutes, where the relevant pages are 15-22.
Labour are doing a disservice to the residents of Stroud in perpetuating this inaccuracy, which the Green Party addressed in a post at the beginning of April. https://stroud.greenparty.org.uk/news/2025/04/02/labour-canvassers-making-inaccurate-claims-about-greens/
