Due to be officially launched this month, the finishing touches
are being put to the set-up in consultation with its potential members, allowing
for a constitution to be agreed upon and elections for the maiden executive to
be held. Matt Lewis, Deputy Area Chairman for Staffordshire CF, said "Cannock is
an area that I never thought would see a CF branch, and judging from the
meetings I've had with the guys and girls who will become the group's first
members, this branch is going to be one of Staffordshire's finest, and certainly
will be active in campaigning for the party, many of its soon-to-be-members
already heavily involved with the party locally.
Staffordshire Area Chairman, and fellow NME candidate Owen
Meredith said, "Matt and I made it one of our key goals to increase the number
of branches within the county whilst strengthening and further integrating the
many fine branches that already exist here. CF is certainly in very healthy
shape in Staffordshire, and Matt has done a brilliant job in bringing CF in
Cannock Chase to life. This just demonstrates what a fantastic Area team we have
here, and that the Tory party is well and truly back in business".
