Becoming a Coop Councillor: Event for Local Labour and Cooperative Members  

On Thursday 24th November, Waltham Forest Co-op Party are holding a ‘Be a Co-op Councillor’ evening in Walthamstow. This is an event for Labour and Co-operative party members in Waltham Forest who are interested in standing as Labour and Co-operative candidates at the next London local elections in May 2018. 

As well as Labour and Cooperative MPs who represent the cooperative tradition within the Labour movement, there are also hundreds of Labour and Cooperative councillors around Britain. This event will be a great opportunity to hear about the role of the Co-op in local government and more generally what it is like to be a Councillor, and how Labour Party and Co-op Party selections work. If you are interested in attending this event, then please register online so that the organisers can get an idea of the numbers, as space is limited.

Interested in becoming a Labour Councillor? 'Be a councillor' events

Labour Councillors play a vital role in their communities and can make a real difference to people’s daily lives. The Labour Party needs people of vision, leadership, integrity, ambition and commitment to help deliver strong leadership and quality public services. If you think this could be you but you would like more information and the opportunity to discuss with serving councillors, the London Labour Party is working with the Local Government Association to deliver a number of Be a Councillor Events. This will cover the role of a councillor and the process to become one either in the near future or later on.

The first of these will take place on 5 November and there will be another taking place at the London Regional Conference on 12 November with further dates specifically for women members and young members later this year.
