Why join the Borough first Independents? Local politics should start with local people.
Be part of something local

Independent voices. Stronger communities.

Membership is a way to support a different approach to local politics: one where residents, evidence and the needs of communities come before national party instructions.

✓
Support independent representation

Help strengthen local voices that can consider issues on their merits.

✓
Get more involved in your community

Take part in local activity, campaigns, discussions and community initiatives.

✓
Help shape local priorities

Share ideas, local knowledge and experience that can help improve our Borough.

✓
You do not have to agree on everything

Independent local representation allows room for different views, respectful debate and individual judgement.

You can still get involved

You do not have to become a member to support local independent activity. Extra hands can make a real difference, whether that is helping at an event, delivering information, supporting a campaign or simply sharing local knowledge.

If you would like to help, tell us a little about what interests you and we can start from there.
