FORMER Green party leader Caroline Lucas returned to Malvern and spoke to a full house at the Lyttelton Rooms in Church Street.

Her talk covered climate change and “the chaos of Brexit”, and she urged her audience to join the People’s Vote demonstration in London on Saturday, October 20.

She spoke of the work of Malvern Hills District Council’s three Green councillors - Natalie McVey, Chris Reed and John Raine - and encouraged all those present to help ensure further Green electoral successes in next May's elections.

The same day, she visited the Cube to learn about how an under-used youth centre there had been transformed into a vibrant community hub.

She also heard about plans to establish a project in Malvern to convert food waste through an anaerobic digester into fertiliser and methane gas to power a gas lamp, meeting Brian Harper of West Malvern who has pioneered the use of the same bio-digester technology to fuel gas lamps from dog waste.
