The Conservative Spring Conference in Harrogate was a highly successful and energising event, bringing together councillors, activists, parliamentarians, and campaigners from across the country, and helping to build momentum ahead of upcoming local elections.
Local government had a strong presence throughout the conference, highlighting the vital role Conservative councillors play in delivering practical outcomes for residents and providing strong leadership in communities.
The LGA Conservative Group hosted two well-attended and interactive events: ‘How to become a Conservative councillor’ and ‘How your council group can utilise the LGA’.
Both sessions generated strong engagement and provided useful insights into how the LGA Conservative Group supports councillors and council groups.
It was particularly encouraging to see significant interest from younger activists who are keen to stand as Conservative councillors in the future, demonstrating a strong pipeline of talent and commitment to public service within the Party.
“Conservative councillors play a vital role in delivering practical outcomes for residents”
The LGA Conservative Group stand was also visited by senior party figures, including Kevin Hollinrake, Chairman of the Conservative Party, and Kemi Badenoch, Leader of the Opposition.
They spoke with attendees about the importance of Conservative local government and the excellent work being delivered by Conservative councillors and councils across the country.
