The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party. This means that we believe in spreading power, wealth and opportunity amongst all in society, rather than concentrating them in the hands of a rich minority. The Labour Party grew out of the Trades Union movement around a hundred years ago, and has continued to fight to improve conditions for working people. The Party has also been instrumental in building our modern welfare state which provides for everyone in times of illness, unemployment, poverty and old age.

Ryedale Constituency Labour Party (CLP) covers the Ryedale District Council area, as well as Filey on the East coast, and some of the Eastern parts of the City of York. The party is organised into four branches:

North Ryedale - covering the area around Helmsley, Kirbymoorside and Pickering.
Malton and Norton - plus the outlying villages as far as Sherburn in the East and Flaxton in the West.
Filey - part of Scarborough Borough Council's area.
South Ryedale - part of York City Council's area around Huntington and Strensall.

Party membership is now organised nationally, so if you are interested in joining and supporting our work visit the Party's main website. Alternatively, if you live in Ryedale, send your postal address to our membership secretary and we will send you a form.
