Eastbourne CLP is  organised via an ‘All Members’ structure

All members are invited to our CLP meetings and all members have a vote. Our local standing orders state we hold 6 CLP meetings per annum. We hold an extra 2 CLP meetings per annum which are policy meetings.

“The prime function of Party meetings is to provide members with the  opportunity to participate in Party activities through social contact, political  debate and policy discussion; and to establish objectives for the Party in the  area for campaigning, the development of Party organisation and the  promotion of links with sympathetic individuals and bodies within the wider  community.

Plans for campaigning on local issues, the development of community  engagement and the strengthening of both links and communication with  individual members, affiliates, supporters and community groups should be  central to all business.”             local standing orders.
