Hello from the MDNP Executive.

Hello members and anyone else dropping in

The CLP will going through some big changes over the next few weeks as we approach the AGM. This year we have several officers who are standing down, after long stints in their roles. At the last CLP meeting it was decided that we would rationalise the number of Executive members and revert to the composition we had in 2024-2025. The key officer posts will be Chair, Vice Chair who will look after Policy, Treasurer and Secretary, who will also look after membership. In addition we will have a Women’s Officer. Other interest groups - BAME. LQBTQ+ , and Disability will be managed through the members of the Executive according to the issue, and whose experience is most relevant.

At the moment we do have nominations for some of these posts, but we are always looking for volunteers from the membership to come forward. Anyone interested has to have been a full member of the Labour Party for at least six months. If you would like more information please feel free to contact the Secretary, Maryanne Pike on secretary@mdnplabour.co.uk.

Although we are only 18 months into the Labour government , there are many local issues of concern and the CLP wants to show its voice in support of ordinary people. Locally, we have just come to the end of the Dorset Plan consultation process. As you may be aware we published a response to the plan, and we now wait to see what the Council’s response will be.

Our CLP meetings are very informal and we try to organise them so that there is plenty of time for discussion about current themes of political interest as well as dealing with any local issues that may be around.

Do you come along and meet your executive at the Christmas social and show your support at the AGM. Thank you.

Supporting the Labour Party in Mid Dorset & North Poole

If you’d like to play a part in our local community and campaign for Labour, this is a good place to start. We are a lively and active constituency determined to provide an alternative voice.

This is where you can find out how to campaign to get Labour candidates elected, support the causes we believe in, and raise money for campaigning. We come from all walks of life and all sections of the community.

We get together at monthly constituency meetings to discuss policy, hear from invited speakers and regularly hold social events. We have close links with the other CLPs within the Dorset and Bournemouth Poole and Christchurch Council areas.

We also hold social events and have community meetings more closely linked to the various neighbourhoods that make up the constituency. We try to listen and learn from those in our community about local issues, which shapes how we influence Labour Party policy.

To contact the Mid Dorset and North Poole constituency, Maryanne Pike is the Secretary - secretary@mdnplabour.co.uk and Ashley Rowlands is the Chair - chair@mdnplabour.co.uk
