This is a key moment for the London Party as we prepare candidates for the 2014 Council elections and policy for the Borough Council elections and the General Election in 2015. Please register as early as possible for these free events, hosted by the London Co-operative Party As you will have seen, the London Co-operative Party has tightened our membership system this year and consequently we have 'lapsed' members who we do not have a payment record for (who actually pay locally by cash or cheque or who have a direct debit in place). We are therefore asking everyone to sign up to pay by Direct Debit.
