We need people to help us make this work!

Please contact us if you are willing to do something: we are very fortunate in this country that legal restrictions mean local politics has to be done by volunteers:

  • can you deliver leaflets?
  • Can you recruit members?
  • Are you willing to feedback comments to us on local issues?
  • Are you willing to act as a Rep for your Ward?
  • Are you interested in standing for election as a candidate?
