This year's Co-operative Party Local Government Conference highlights how co-operation works best at a local level and how the thousands of Labour & Co-operative councillors are leading the way across the UK with innovative ideas, campaigns and solutions.

In these times of real hardship across the UK and beyond, we need to ensure Co-operative Party councillors are elected to the positions where they can make a real difference.

Join us online on Saturday 21 November, 10am to 5pm. It is free to attend.

Promoted by Joe Fortune on behalf of the Co-operative Party, both at Unit 13, 83 Crampton Street, London, SE17 3BQ, United Kingdom.
