Cumbria Conservative Conference

Attended the annual AGM and Conference of Cumbria Conservatives today.

It made two successful area Conservative conferences at opposite ends of the North West Region on consecutive Saturdays.

Last week I attended Cheshire and the Wirral's excellent Annual Conference, this week it was our turn to hold a well attended conference at the Auction Mart at Junction 36 (of the M6).

The  meeting began with an AGM which re-elected Richard Rhodes as Chairman and agreed a positive way forward for the Conservatives in Cumbria.

We also had a superb presentation from the county's Police and Crime Commissioner, Peter McCall. Great to hear a straight talking explanation of what is being done to put more police on the beat and give them the support to fight crime.

Party Chairman James Cleverly gave an excellent talk at lunch and gave thoughtful but positive answers to some tough questions.

In the afternoon we had a panel session with three of our newly elected or re-elected MPs - Trudy Harrison, "Workington man" Mark Jenkinson and Simon Fell from Barrow and Furness.

Really positive session.
