About Cheadle Labour and how to get involved
Cheadle Constituency Labour Party campaigns for the interests of the people who are eligible to vote to send an MP to Parliament for the Cheadle Constituency, or for local councillors on Stockport Council. We want you to vote Labour!
Cheadle is one of three constituencies (plus a part of a constituency) that make up the borough of Stockport.
Stockport borough is divided into 21 Wards, each with around 10,000 voters who elect three Councillors to run the borough. This gives a total of 63 Stockport councillors.
The Lib Dems 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 result of local elections are more important than ever. Winning seats in Cheadle would put Labour in touching distance of reclaiming the Council.
How can I get involved?
There are lots of different ways to campaign with Cheadle Labour, from delivering leaflets and door-knocking to helping agree local and national policy, running a stall at a community event or fundraising. Why not come to one of our social events? – you will be very welcome. Contact us to let us know how you might help, or to find out more
If you want to…
- Influence policy making for Labour, come along to our regular meetings on the second Thursday of every month (except August) 7.30 pm at Cheadle Hulme Methodist Church, Ramillies Avenue, Cheadle Hulme, SK8 7AL The Labour Party has an extensive structure for discussing and making policy. At the regular CLP meetings, we discuss aspects of policy at local and national levels and can submit motions to reflect our views at the Stockport, Greater Manchester, regional and national levels. We always send a delegate to the Labour Party Conference 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 including shadow ministers.
- Identify and campaign on local issues: Our members 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.
- 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.
