Following the recent elections on 4 May, people from across England cast their vote for co-operation and we are delighted that the Co-operative Party now have the highest number of Co-operative Councillors in our Party’s 106 year history. Over 1500 Labour & Co-operative councillors are in local government across the UK.
Join us on Zoom on Wednesday 17 May at 6pm as we champion some of our recent electoral successes by profiling some of our great newly re-elected Councillors. From fighting for food justice to promoting community-owned green energy, our new Councillors are ready to get to work and put the big ideas of our movement into practice. They will share more about why being Labour & Co-operative is important to them, why it makes a real difference to local communities they serve as well hear about aspirations and plans to deliver that co-operative agenda.
Speakers include Cllr Claire Douglas – Leader Elect York City Council, Damien Greenhalgh – Deputy Leader High Peak Council and Cllr Vince Maple – Leader Medway Council. Chaired by Cllr Abigail Katung – Leeds City Councillor and Co-operative Party NEC representative for Yorkshire & Humber.
