Our story – time line

Waveney and Suffolk Coastal Time Line 2001-2025 which has been used for various events, is here, and underneath the photographs supporting.

Waveney Green party, formed in 2021 by Graham and Nicky Elliott. The last manifestation stems from the photograph above, taken in the midst of COVID winter 2020, outside in Toby’s garden. Graham Elliott, a Green Councillor for over 14 years, and foundation for the Green Party in Beccles, announced his desire to resign in favour of putting his energy into Saving The Locks. Also there was Elfrede Bramley-Crawshaw, standing down from District but remaining a County Councillor. Elfrede was the first Green councillor from the East Suffolk area elected to the County Council, and has been a key campaigner on a host of issues in the chamber. She has since become Eastern Green Party Senior Field Leader

Meanwhile also around this fire, were the new seeds: Annette Dunning, who would become Halesworth ward Suffolk County Councillor. Caroline Topping, already a District Councillor who would become a County Councillor. Peggy McGreggor, who would become Suffolk County Councillor in 2021. Andrew Eastaugh, who would become the chair of Waveney Greens, a new conglomerate uniting Beccles, Bungay and Halesworth. Peter and Rita, the vital continuity between the old and the new, treasurer of Waveney Greens. Toby the facilitator and Election agent of Waveney Greens, who would become East Suffolk Councillor. Michael Imison and Rachel Kellett who would share the role of secretary of Waveney Greens.
