Hello from the MDNP Executive.

Hello members. Although there has been a lot happening nationally and internationally the local scene has been quiet. We did have a good Quiz night and raised over £300 for the campaign coffers. We plan to have another one soon, so we’ll keep you posted.

This constituency hasn’t been involved in the local elections, but the results were disappointing for the Party, and the leadership clearly needs to be listening both to its members, and to the general public, as to where they get the funds to support public services and generate growth. However, we can’t underestimate how difficult it is for them at the moment. Having inherited an appalling mess from the Tories, and now having to absorb the economic impact from the Trump administration, its a perfect storm of problems in trying to pull the country out of the hole that its in.

But we are doing some good stuff in improving infrastructure, although its under the radar. The message certainly didn’t get through in the local elections just passed. It was a bad result for us. However, we must fight the the easy assertions and soundbites of the Tories and especially Reform, neither of whom have any credible policies to get us out of the troubles we’re in.

To that end, you should be alerted to the work being done in Bournemouth West, our sister CLP, by the team of canvassers who are going out every week, knocking on doors, and talking to constituents about their local issues, and supporting the work of their MP Jessica Toale. Members of MDNP are also involved, and anyone who would like to contribute should contact our Secretary, who can refer you on. We will continue in our own CLP, in a much smaller way, to identify and raise local issues. We have more Labour councillors now both in Dorset, and especially in BCP. If you have any issues that you feel are having a negative impact on our community, let us hear about it.

Supporting the Labour Party in Mid Dorset & North Poole

If you’d like to play a part in our local community and campaign for Labour, this is a good place to start. We are a lively and active constituency determined to provide an alternative voice.

This is where you can find out how to campaign to get Labour candidates elected, support the causes we believe in, and raise money for campaigning. We come from all walks of life and all sections of the community.

We get together at monthly constituency meetings to discuss policy, hear from invited speakers and regularly hold social events. We have close links with the other CLPs within the Dorset and Bournemouth Poole and Christchurch Council areas.

We also hold social events and have community meetings more closely linked to the various neighbourhoods that make up the constituency. We try to listen and learn from those in our community about local issues, which shapes how we influence Labour Party policy.

To contact the Mid Dorset and North Poole constituency, Maryanne Pike is the Secretary - secretary@mdnplabour.co.uk and Ashley Rowlands is the Chair - chair@mdnplabour.co.uk
