The Association

Warrington North Conservative Association is a modern forward-looking Association of like-minded people from all walks of life rich, poor, young or old with a common belief that their country should be run by a Conservative Government.

The Association has an elected Management Committee, which looks after the administration of functions such as Prospective Parliamentary Candidate Selection, Campaigning and Constituency events. As well as the political work carried out by the Association there are many and varied social functions organised by the Management Committee.

We are currently looking for new members. Joining the Association will enable you to take an active part developing the party locally and provide an excellent opportunity to meet likeminded people through various social and political events.

The Constituency

The constituency of Warrington North has other constituencies surrounding it including Makerfield to the north; Halton to the West; Warrington South to the South and Leigh to the East. Below is a map of the Warrington North constituency and more information can be found on Wikipedia as well about the sitting MP Helen Jones (Labour).

Warrington North is divided into Wards for the election of Councillors to the Warrington Borough Council (WBC). WBC elections take place more often than general elections but only a proportion of councillors are elected each time. Warrington wards are divided between Warrington North and Warrington South constituencies and the northern ones are listed in the table below.

Local Government

David Cameron has said that a Conservative Government will give more power, discretion and autonomy to local councils. But he emphasised that greater power must be backed up with greater accountability to local taxpayers.

Speaking at the Conservative Councillors’ Association, Cameron outlined Conservative plans to require councils to publish the following online:

• The full remuneration package of all senior staff, earning above £58,500, including name and post.
• All items of expenditure above £500, and publish contracts and tender documents in full.
• Information on councillors’ expenses in open and standardised format so the public can compare councillor expenses across the country.

The Conservatives have more Councillors than Labour and the Liberal Democrats combined - with almost 10,000 Conservative Councillors, and more than 200 Conservative-run councils.

Cameron said that local government could cut spending through more transparency and by working together. In return, they would get much power. "I’m going to give you much more power and control", he said. "I’m a Conservative, I trust people, I believe in local power."

"I believe that when decisions are made closer to people they are better decisions, they are more effective decisions, they are cheaper and they tend to make people much happier too."
