UKIP Councillors' Association

UKIP  has experienced unprecedented success and growth over the last few years. As well as increasing our vote in Westminster elections by a staggering 50% another huge area of Growth has been in Local Government. So much so that we now have now formed a ‘Councillors' Association’ to enable UKIP’s elected Councillors to better develop and grow our success.

Lord Pearson’s Dynamic vision for our Party and his drive to establish UKIP as a major force in UK domestic politics has given us a huge boost. For the first time ever our Party Leader is making speeches in the Palace of Westminster and out in the country UKIP Councillors are making this Party relevant not just on EU issues but on every issue that effects voters in the UK. We are very grateful for the support and vision that our Party leader has given the UKIP Councillors Association and to the NEC for its support and backing.

Here is a snap shot of what we have been established to achieve :

Our Mission is :

  To support UKIP Councillors at every level of Local Government.

  To achieve 1,000 UKIP Councillors over the next 5 Years.

  Improve internal and external communication for UKIP Councillors.

  Maximise the number of Council seats that UKIP fights in full elections.

  Build an ‘Action team’ to support target list candidates and By Elections
 
Objectives and Priorities
 
  1. Target Wards : Identify a priority list of 50 National Wards / Divisions that UKIP will target in the May 2011 elections
  2. Target People : Identify individuals nationally who UKIP wishes to support to get into local Government .
  3. Communication – external : Establish a UKIP Councillors Association website, promoting our Councillors and their activities. This to have a link on the UKIP.org headline buttons.
  4. Communication - Internal : Produce a Quarterly newsletter for Councillors, candidates and Branch Chairmen. Produce a page in the UKIP national Magazine to communicate with full membership. (we have already set up a closed forum within the members forum for Councillors to communicate). If you are a UKIP councillor at any level and cannot see the councillors' section of the forum, please contact Jonathan Arnott and he will add you.
  5. Training : Produce a series of training events for candidates and Councillors / insight days for potential candidates and training for potential agents. Produce a ‘UKIP Councillor Guidebook’. New councillors to be given an experienced ‘Mentor’ to guide them.
  6. Identify Opportunities : Monitor District and County Council vacancies and to work with branch chairmen to conduct an Audit of Parish and Town Councils to identify vacancies and to invite UKIP members to fill these gaps.
  7. Councillors in other Parties: Co-ordinate activities to further increase defections of existing councillors from other parties to UKIP.
  8. Material : Increase the amount of material and templates available for candidates and Councillors to use.
  9. Candidates : organise activities to increase the number of candidates that UKIP has available to stand in elections.
UKIP is not a single-issue party, we have something fresh to say at every level of local government. Many colleagues from other parties look on at UKIP Councillors with fear because often we are the only voice of the ordinary people in the council chamber and because we are UKIP we believe in Straight Talking!
