The Labour Party at the heart of TQ13

The Labour Party is alive and kicking in TQ13.  There is a devoted and passionate group of locals ready to represent our Labour supporters.  Our presence is set to get stronger.  Our full thanks to everyone who voted for us at the local elections, this vote of confidence has given us real impetus.

Some people are clear that Labour is the party for them.  During my recent campaign, some voters felt unsure what Labour would look like locally.  As a local party we are underpinned by the philosophy that:

‘by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone&.a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many and not just the few& where the we live together, freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect.’

We would like to bring this to our policies and actions in the TQ13 area.  Checking that all voices in the communities are heard (not just the loudest), ensuring that wherever possible funds are equally spread and our communities are cohesive and not divisive.  We have many ideas for the future.  Locally we already plan to:

1. stand dedicated candidates for future elections
2. work with local elected councillors on issues that our members care about

 In the spirit of Labour we would like your help to create our plan for the future by: 

1. Gathering supporters’ and members’ views on issues close to their heart
2. Giving feedback and clear messages to the national party
3. Engaging our supporters through listening and a schedule of events

We already have a healthy number of members locally, but if you would like to join the Labour Party please go to https://secure2.labour.org.uk/join/.  You will find a friendly and enthusiastic group of members in your local area.

If you would like to find out more or let us know what you would like the Labour Party to do in this area, please e mail our Secretary Ted Clapton on andt@btinternet.com  (or by phone if e mail is unavailable on 01647 252310).

Labour would like to connect with its local voters.  There are no alliances with other political parties.  We want to encourage Labour voters and sympathisers to vote directly for Labour and not become fragmented.  There are a sizeable number of us.  We wish to coordinate our voters to have a clear and powerful voice in our own political landscape.
