Welcome to our Blog

Welcome to our blog!

We will use this page to keep you up to date with all our day-to-day activity in Dewsbury, Mirfield, Kirkburton and Denby Dale.

Update

Thanks to John, Alan, Lidia, Douglas, Mark, David and Roger we had two good delivery sessions and picked up a number of pledges in Shepley and Skelmanthorpe. It was a nice end to another busy week. There has been good feedback to the Castle Hall/Education policy piece in last week’s In Touch.

Update

Simon headed off to Norwich North for the By-Election. It is always interesting to see how a by-election is run as the whole party swings behind one seat.

Update

Campaigned in Dewsbury town centre on Saturday morning. This gave us a real presence in Foundry Street and in the market. In the afternoon canvassed in Shaw Cross.

Update

The first of a new series of Press Releases went out. This one was to the Huddersfield Examiner. All of these will appear on this web site so you can see them whether or not they are published.

Update

Went to the Area Committee meeting in Kirkburton. Also met with the editor of the Shepley Village Magazine.

Update

Went to Leeds for a planning meeting for a fundraising lunch to be held on the 23rd August (Please note the date-more to follow).

Update

Kirkburton and Denby Dale Partners and Communities Together Meeting – an open meeting with the police.

Update

In the morning Louise and Simon were out collecting for the RNLI. They do this every year for some of the bravest people you will ever meet. Delivered in Mirfield in the afternoon. We got to 900 homes and it was great to meet and speak to so many people.

Update

Simon met a local Mirfield business man - Abid. Simon and Louise spent the evening in Mirfield and Dewsbury and Abid is going to be a real asset to the team. (He runs the Paradise Take Away in Mirfield and I recommend the Tandoori Special Pizza!) Time for a drink in the Old Colonial afterwards!

Update

Lunch in Kirkburton organised by Norman and Hilary Berry. This was well supported with 40 or so members and supporters and Simon gave a short speech about his route into politics and the importance of winning the seat.

Update

Two delivery teams and a canvassing team allowed us to cover the entire village of Skelmanthorpe and get across our message about a Conservative alternative to the Local Development Framework and identified 115 pledges.

Update

Worked on this week’s Mirfield In Touch. Its focus is education policy and Castle Hall School.

Update

Campaign Team meeting, preceded by a meeting with Ian Firth.

Update

Louise and Simon went with Jim Dodds and his family to a fundraising evening at the Pakistani and Kashmiri Welfare Association. This was to raise money for those displaced by the fighting in the Swat Valley.

Update

Went to Castle Hall for Hands Around The School.
