Welcome to Stroud Constituency Labour Party

For more than 100 years the Labour Party, through the efforts of our members and supporters, has brought about massive social change.  Our proudest achievements include the welfare state, the NHS, our education system, and equal pay.   However, we know that even a century later, our country, and many of our institutions remain in the grip of a wealthy and privileged few.

Since 2010 the Conservative Party has systematically used the excuse of austerity to once again penalise the vulnerable, the poor and the marginal.  As their time in office comes to an end, they are accelerating their efforts, using the excuse of Brexit to foster division, fear and inequality.

Stroud Labour Party welcomes those who care about our society.   We understand that only by cooperation and our active involvement locally and nationally can we defend our vision for a fairer society, where equality of opportunity means exactly that, and where everyone has the freedom to achieve their potential, no matter what the circumstances of their birth.

Labour is a democratic socialist party – with all the obligations, duties and responsibilities which that involves.

Stroud Constituency Labour Party (CLP) is based at 5a Lansdown  in Stroud.  The constituency covers a large area from the River Severn on the west, from Hardwicke down to Berkeley and from Frampton across to Bisley.  Within this area there are a number of local branches that hold regular meetings to discuss political issues and organise local events and campaigns that help the local community.

We organise campaigns, social events, elections and debates on policies.  A lot of Labour Party activity takes place at branch level – campaigns, socials and fund-raising. Labour members take part in choosing local council candidates, attend Labour Party Conferences and contribute to making local and national Labour Party policy.
