Last night I attended an executive meeting of Stockton Conservatives, giving a report on campaigning in Stockton South and some of the local issues I have been invovled with. Council Leader Ken Lupton similarly made a report to the executive, which was a good opportunity for members to ask questions and find out about what is going on in Stockton Borough Council. The local party remains in good health, with new supporters joining and branches being formed. We are now entering the final countdown to a general election, with the likely date being in May next year. Whatever the result I am confident that Stockton Conservatives will emerge a stronger organisation than it has been for many years.
