May Discussion Meeting

Dronfield Labour Party Discussion Meeting
Topic: Local Election Results 2019
Round Table Discussion
Time: 8pm to 9.15pm
Date: Sunday 12th May
Venue: Contact Club, Snape Hill Lane, Dronfield, S18 2GJ.

A round table discussion will be held about local election results in North East Derbyshire, Sheffield, other local areas and the national picture.

On the 2nd May, North East Derbyshire District Council suffered heavy losses to the Conservatives - bucking the national trend of Tory defeats. Bolsover District Council also lost Labour seats and went to No Overall Control for the first time ever. While in High Peak, Labour won back control from the Conservatives for the first time in 16 years. Sheffield City Council lost a small number of seats to the Greens, which has damanged their leading majority. Nationally, the Tories lost over 1300 seats. Labour suffered a net loss of under 80 seats. Minor parties experienced gains.

What does this all mean for Labour and the future of our democracy? Come along on Sunday to discuss.
