Local Elections

Local government is vitally important for local communities. The Heritage Party will seek to ensure our countryside, towns and cities are not ruined by rampant development, with public money spent wisely on vital public services and maintenance rather than costly white elephant projects.  We wish to preserve our heritage sites, historic buildings and monuments and to protect our traditional way of life.

We have 9 councillors representing the Heritage Party in local government on town and parish councils in Devon, Hertfordshire, Northumberland, Kent, Sussex, Wigtownshire and Wiltshire.
