Get Involved

I first got involved in politics by taking an interest in the area where I live, and in discussing ideas when I was a student. I would really like to hear from you if you are interested in getting more involved, or if you would just like to find out more.

You can also visit the Folkestone & Hythe Conservatives site where you will find out more about local meetings and events:
