Why should I join?
This Labour Government has failed to deliver on its promises

There is no more time for excuses. The Conservative Party is best placed to hold this Government to account for its serial failures and keep them to their commitments. Conservatives offer strong and principled opposition to this Government and campaign vigorously on the issues that really matter to people.

We are close to completing the most far reaching policy review in years, having listened to the public, subject experts and voluntary groups. This will mean the policies we soon put forward will be relevant to our nation in the 21st Century having been shaped by those who matter most - the people of Britain.

Conservatives care passionately about the issues which matter most

In the Wellingborough constituency, local Conservatives are in touch with people's views and concerns. Through our 'Listening to Wellingborough & Rushden' campaign, we are able to focus on the important issues affecting people locally, particularly through our 'Health Watch' and our 'SOS Save our Schools' campaigns. Conservatives are committed to providing effective public services for the people within Wellingborough constituency. We will endeavor to deliver on the issues that matter most to you. Through your support as a member, you will help us to achieve our objectives.
