The first public meeting of PEOPLE party was held on 24 February 1973 at 20 Broadgate, Coventry, which was the estate agent showroom of Edward Savage & Associates.

PEOPLE Party was later named the Ecology Party and is now called The Green Party.

We believe that a Heritage Plaque should be placed on Cathedral Lanes, the building nearest to where that showroom stood.

Please sign our petition to ask Coventry City Council for a Heritage Plaque where the first PEOPLE meeting was held.

Unfortunately we’re still waiting for consent from the owners of Cathedral Lanes, so this application can’t proceed without that.

Thank you for signing Stephen’s petition

Recently 152 signatures of residents in the Holbrooks Lane area were handed in to Coventry City Council, to join your many online signatures. All of you are joining us to call for a safer pedestrian crossing at this very busy junction.

What your local Green Party did

Green Party volunteers from across Coventry and beyond came to help Stephen before lockdown to collect your signatures.

The installation of a full 4-way Pelican/Toucan Crossing with islands at this junction, would make it safer for pedestrians, and would encourage parents to walk their children to school rather than taking them by car, reducing traffic, pollution and accidents.

Even Baroness Natalie Bennett, Green Party member of the House of Lords and former Party leader, helped out going door to door with us to gather your opinions and signatures.
