A better Charnwood Borough Council under the Conservatives

Although the Party Leader, MP’s and Conservative Central Office are seen as the public face of The Conservative Party, the heart of the party lies within local associations such as ours. We are a voluntary body solely funded by membership, subscriptions, donations and fund-raising events.

We support the Party in a number of different ways:

	Campaigning on our beliefs
	Organising and attending events (Political and social)
	Providing new ideas
	Keeping our Councillors, MP and MEP’s informed on a huge range of issues
	Assisting in the formation of policy

Charnwood Conservatives are a relatively new organisation .We came into being in 1994 when the Boundary Commission announced the formation of a new parliamentary constituency from the extremities of Bosworth, Blaby, Rutland & Melton and Loughborough constituencies.

We were fortunate that we inherited a good number of activists from our neighbouring associations not to mention The Rt. Hon Stephen Dorrell MP who had been the MP for Loughborough since 1979. We have grown in strength and reputation in the last decade in a varying political climate.

The boundaries of the constituency mean that to this day we have a diverse range of councillors covering town, village and country wards on Blaby District (7/9) and Hinckley & Bosworth (2/2) and Charnwood Borough Councils (17/20). Of the 54 seats on the County Council 10 are in Charnwood and all of these are Conservative except Birstall.

Today is an incredibly exciting time to be a Conservative as the Party is clearly identified as a voice for change, optimism and hope for everyone wherever they live in Britain. Charnwood Conservatives will have an input into the policies that will resonate that wish.

Locally we have been active during the past months getting ready for District and Borough elections which were held during May 2007. Now that we have taken control of Charnwood Borough Council our councillors are are busy running the Council in the best interests of Charnwood people. We also increased our numbers on the Conservative controlled Hinckley & Bosworth and Blaby Councils.

If you are not already a member consider joining us. As well as a meaningful statement it gives you the opportunity to belong to the only open and democratic British Political Party.

And yes we do enjoy ourselves!
