As the next election approaches Greenpeace has teamed up with a collation of other environmental and development NGOs to organise a political hustings in our local constituency of West Dorset.

 The timing let me guess it was going to be the beginning of the palm-oil campaign. Getting off the train at 'East Croydon- home of Nestle UK' was also a bit of a clue.

A lovely sunny afternoon, 50 people, photographers from all 3 local papers and sticky Dorset apple cake!

Poundbury Garden centre donated a perfect Cox's Orange Pippin. The Mayor came to plant the tree and talked about the 10:10 pledge taken by Dorchester Town Council.
