This is a Website produced by Parretgrad Press specifically to cover matters relating to the Labour Movement in the Bridgwater area.
Bridgwater is now part of the new BRIDGWATER CONSTITUENCY (see map).
For years Bridgwater has been part of a very difficult to win constituency including large tracts of rural West Somerset where they bring in the Tory votes and candidates in wheelbarrows. Now our Parliamentary seat will be closer to the town of Bridgwater which has always been a Labour run town. Bridgwater elected 13 out of 16 Town Councillors and 4 out of 8 County Councillors and now finally we’re in with a chance to get a Labour MP!
Parretgrad Press is NOT an official Labour Party organisation. But tolerably sympathetic.
The Labour Party is organised electorally to fight at Town, County, and Westminster elections and so has a base in each of the Parliamentary Constituencies of Somerset and a County organisation ‘Somerset Labour Party’. That is a totally separate website and can be found here.
