  • Brought banking back to Moreton

What's the most important issue in your community?

Unlike the other parties, we carry out regular postal surveys and door-to-door visits, weather permitting!  We do this so we can help residents tackle issues in their road or neighbourhood and also gain support for some of the bigger projects. 

But we can’t do it alone. Your views can help to make a difference to the community.
