The Conservative message was taken to Edge Hill University at the Ormskirk institution's Freshers' Fair held on 25th September.
Edward McCarthy, Co-ordinator of West Lancs Conservative Future and Knowsley ward candidate in the 2014 elections, was joined by fellow activists and councillors at the event held on campus.
Edward said: "We had a really positive response from the students at Edge Hill. As a party, we try to get as many young people as possible involved and the feedback we received was really good. We spoke to a number of students who want to help us win elections locally and ensure that Labour do not do to West Lancashire what they did to the country. We also spoke to some students who have been here for some time and they were impressed at how active Conservatives are locally. Many commented that they don't hear from Labour except for at election times, whereas Conservatives work hard all year round."
West Lancs Conservative Future are very active in West Lancashire, they have previously organised social action / community projects as well as debate nights and social events.
On Thursday 26th September they are hosting a "Question Time" Debate night with Conservative Jacqueline Foster MEP as chairman, and a panel featuring local councillors, representatives of other parties and the Student Union. The Debate night is at Edge Hill University in room Hub 1, starting at 7pm. Further details on poster attached.
