2019 was an extremely busy and succesful year for Bromsgrove Conservatives. We retained control of Bromsgrove District Council in May, won a county council by election in October (taking the seat off labour) and returned our MP, Sajid Javid, to parliament increasing his majority from 16,000 to 23,000 in the general election. Our current campaign manager is leaving to take a parliamentary staff post in Westminster.
