Labour's Pledges to the electorate in North Shropshire for the 6th May 2021 elections:
Vote Labour to secure our economy, protect our NHS and rebuild our country.
Labour will work to create a vibrant economy in North Shropshire, benefiting both rural and urban communities.
• Pressing for increased connectivity - with an affordable, ‘green’ bus network linking rural communities with towns, work places and rail services. Facilitating safe cycling and walking will be a priority. ‘Superfast broadband for all' to enable real growth in rural enterprise is vital.
• Fighting for genuinely affordable homes for rent and purchase – but only where plans meet environmental standards. We must meet our obligations to our planet!
• Pushing for increased investment in our NHS and in Adult Social Care so that provision reflects the needs of our dispersed rural communities and an increasingly ageing population
• Rebuilding Public Health services. Investment in Community Mental Health is vital after years of cuts.
• Lobbying for increased funding for ‘Early Years’ provision and Youth Services. Closures and cuts are a false economy, particularly as we recover from the pandemic which has had such an impact on our children and young people.
• Investing in leisure, culture and tourism, to boost local jobs and the local economy and to support valued services such as our libraries and leisure centres.
• Supporting farmers and smallholders in their aims to maintain sustainable practices and meet local needs.
• Ensuring that spending decisions are based on fairness and what will best serve all Shropshire’s residents.
Market Drayton
We are delighted to announce Labour Candidates in Market Drayton East - Warren Love and Market Drayton West - Rob Bentley. Both are also standing for the Town Council, where Alan Cartwright will be defending the seat in Market Drayton South as whose representative he has already done so much for the town.
Labour candidates selected for St Martin’s and Ellesmere Urban 2021.
Oswestry and District Labour Party are pleased to announce that they have selected strong candidates for ‘St Martin’s’ and ‘Ellesmere Urban’ for the Local Government elections in May this year. This was confirmed at the ‘on line’ branch meeting last week when members heard that both candidates have already been working hard, listening to the concerns of their local communities.
Candidate Natalie Rowley said "I am delighted to have been selected as Labour candidate for the St. Martins ward. As a healthcare worker and volunteer, I have been busy throughout the pandemic supporting vulnerable people in the community, and I look forward to launching a positive campaign in St. Martins. I am currently working to improve broadband speeds in part of St. Martins, along with looking to address the lack of safe cycle paths, as well as the increasing house building in the village."
Ellesmere Urban’s candidate, Alison Devismes said ‘ I come from a family who have lived in around the Town of Ellesmere for over 100 years and I love living here! I am passionate about looking after the town and its beauty but also what isn’t seen on the surface: issues such as anti-social behaviour, new housing and infrastructure. Ellesmere is a beautiful, unique town and I want to help it to thrive and develop, with its residents and businesses at the heart’.
Further selections will take place shortly and the local community can be assured that Labour Party candidates will campaign hard to challenge the Conservatives’ strangle hold on Shropshire Council and fight for a fairer and greener future.
For more detail and other candidates selected see also the Oswestry & District Page.

Sadly the result of the 2019 General Election was:
Conservative 35,444 (62.7%)
Labour 12,495 (22.1%)
Lib-Dem 5,643 (10.0%)
Green 1,790 (3.2%)
Ind (Shropshire Party) 1,141 (2.0%)
Graeme Currie says "Devastated - Proud - We will dust ourselves down and fight on" CLP Members are sad, but proud of Graeme's campaign, holding on, despite being able to start campaigning so late, as we had warned the national Party, to most of our vote and still the only challenger to Paterson.

Constituency Map, with Branch and Ward Boundaries
There are no proposals to change our boundaries in the present boundary review of constituencies (apparently never ending since September 2016!) The Eastern Branch name was changed to North East Shropshire in October 2017 - the map now reflects this. (The correct name of the NW Ward is "Gobowen, Selattyn & Weston Rhyn" but we cannot edit the text in the Electoral Commission map!) We are currently awaiting approval of a third Branch, based on Wem.
