South Derbyshire Conservatives have today launched an online survey for local residents to give their views on both local and national issues.

We braved the wind today to go out surveying local residents of Castleton Park in support of our Church Gresley candidates, Stuart Swann, Aden Hallam and Jane Perry.

We got an excellent response on the doorstep and will be looking into the concerns raised.

Our Newhall and Stanton Team, Barry Woods and David Lewis, were out surveying residents in Stanton yesterday afternoon.

They got a great reception on the doorsteps and will be looking into your local concerns.

We were out campaigning in Swadlincote on Saturday, updating the local community on what your local Conservatives have been doing in the area!

We had a great turnout on Saturday supporting our Melbourne team, Martin Fitzpatrick and Jim Hewlett.

Engaging with local residents about the issues that matter to them and the importance of electing Conservatives in May who deliver for residents.

We are delighted to announce that Conservative candidate, Dan Pegg, has been elected to South Derbyshire District Council after the by-election in Linton Ward.

Dan polled 63% of the vote and has a majority of 297.

It is with great sadness that we must announce that Cllr Robert Wheeler passed away on Saturday 11th August 2018 at the Royal Derby Hospital following a battle with cancer.

Our Hilton Ward councillors were out and about this weekend helping local residents at the Foston and Scropton litterpick.

Last weekend, MP for South Derbyshire, Heather Wheeler, together with Councillors David Muller, Julie Patten and Stuart Swann lent a hand as part of Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Litter Pick campaign in Castleton Park, Church Gresley.

Cllr Hilary Coyle has been appointed as the Leader of South Derbyshire District Council.

The Aston ward councillor takes over from Cllr Bob Wheeler who had been Leader for may years before and she officially took up her role at a meeting of the Full Council on 18th January 2018.
