Branch Chairman:  Jeannette Towey

Welcome to the Crowborough Branch page.

The Crowborough Branch is one of the most active in the constituency: we have a core group of members and councillors who actively promote Conservatism across the town, and lend support in other locations when required.

 

Right now couldn't be a better time to get involved in Crowborough. We have lots of ideas, we want to create a buzz and there's sure to be something for everyone to enjoy.

If you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact the chairman, Jeannette Towey. Email: [email protected]
