About Cheadle Labour and how to get involved
Cheadle Constituency Labour Party campaigns for the interests of all of the residents who live in Cheadle Constituency. We want you to support us to get one of our representatives elected to Parliament. We are one of 3 parliamentary constituencies within Stockport.
We also work to get a Labour person elected as Mayor of Greater Manchester as well as supporting local Labour people to get elected to our local authority, Stockport Municipal Borough Council.
Stockport borough is divided into 21 Wards, each with around 10,000 voters who elect three Councillors to the borough council. Cheadle CLP manages the local election campaigns for 7 wards potentially electing 21 councillors.
The Liberal Democrats currently have the largest number of Stockport councillors and run the council. However, they do not have an overall majority and must negotiate with the other parties to agree plans for the borough. This means that the results of local elections are more important than ever. Winning seats in Cheadle would put Labour in touching distance of regaining control of the Council.
How can I get involved?
As a member or supporter you can help us to deliver leaflets, assist our door knocking teams and attend our open social events. Register an interest with us by email to [email protected].
If you become a member you can…
- Influence policy making for Labour, come along to our general meetings at Cheadle Hulme Methodist Church, Ramillies Avenue, Cheadle Hulme, SK8 7AL . There are a minimum of 6 meetings per year with additional special meetings when required. At the regular general meetings we discuss aspects of policy at local and national levels. We can submit motions to reflect our views at the Stockport, Greater Manchester, regional and national levels. We try to send delegates to the National and North West Regional Labour Conferences where key policy decisions are made.
- Get access to councillors and MPs: There are many opportunities to meet and discuss politics with councillors and MPs from within our own area as well as further afield.
- Identify and campaign on local issues: Our members and supporters are our eyes and ears across the Cheadle constituency and we need you to tell us what is going on and how we can make a difference. Email us at [email protected] .
- Select candidates for elections and campaign for them: The Labour Party has a very open process for members to propose candidates and then vote to select them for elections. Any member can put themselves forward as a candidate. Once we have selected candidates we have a strong team to campaign for them, but it needs the hard work of our members to contact the people of Cheadle and get them to vote Labour.
