UPDATE FROM OUR PARTY CONFERENCE

THE PRIME MINISTERS MESSAGE TO ALL

As the Prime Minister said yesterday, we can choose to be a country that's back on its feet and striding forward. Paying down our debt and earning a living. Getting people off welfare and into work. Breaking new ground in education, with excellence for everyone not a privileged few. We can be a country where people look back on their life and say: I've worked hard, I've raised a family, I'm part of a community and all along it was worth my while. We're too far away from that today but we can get there. It's not complicated, but not easy either - because nothing worthwhile is easily won.  
But you know, we've been told we were finished before. They said when we lost an Empire that we couldn't find a role. But we found a role, took on communism and helped bring down the Berlin Wall. They called our economy the sick man of Europe. But we came back and turned this country into a beacon of enterprise. Let's turn this time of challenge into a time of opportunity. Not sitting around, watching things happen and wondering why. But standing up, making things happen and asking why not.
We have the people, we have the ideas, and now we have a government that's freeing those people, backing those ideas. 
So let's see an optimistic future. Let's show the world some fight. Let's pull together, work together. And together lead Britain to better days.

Lets get away from Legoland house design. Housing Minister Grant Shapps said: "We all recognise the bog standard, identikit Legoland homes that typify some new developments - all looking exactly the same on streets that could be anywhere in the country. Whilst we are seeing good examples emerging, too often new developments are dominated by the same, identikit designs that bear no resemblance to the character of the local area.

From our chairman

Profile picture

“We had mixed results in the May Council elections, gaining Skircoat Ward, where I am sure Marcus Thompson will be an excellent Councillor, but losing Sowerby Bridge, which was a big disappointment, particularly as Andrew Feather had served the ward well for twelve years. Overall our vote held up reasonably well and I thank all of those who worked for us and all who supported us. We are now starting our campaign for the 2012 elections where we will be defending three seats, but trying to win more to help the Conservatives take control of Calderdale. Again we are working jointly with Calder Valley constituency and targeting wards where we have the best chance of success so that we make the best use of our joint resources. The search is on for good candidates so if you support the Conservatives and feel you have something to offer please get in touch.”

Roger Simpson, Chairman
