Hounslow Tories launch new website ahead of General Election


Modern campaign tool in place as party fights for victory

Hounslow Conservatives have launched a state-of-the-art web site, as a key part of their campaign to win back the seat in the forthcoming General Election.

 

The site features interactive polling, the latest news stories, biographies of local councillors, and a profile on Alexander Northcote � the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Brentford & Isleworth. It has a feed of national news from the Conservative Party, as well as links to local news resources on the Internet.

 

The site can be accessed through the URL: www.hounslowconservatives.com and is updated regularly.

 

Alexander Northcote said: �If there is one lesson political parties must learn. The only way to win elections is to genuinely engage with the local community. Since I started my campaign to win this seat as a Conservative, I have met with countless community groups and residents associations, and visited thousands of front doors.

 

�But we must understand the importance of modern communication � and the web is an incredibly powerful way for local communities to connect. I want our new web site to become the definitive destination for anyone wanting to know what your local Conservatives are doing for you.�

 

The site has a simple contact feature � so people can instantly communicate directly with Alexander Northcote. �I want to hear from as many people as possible, so I can help improve things for the people of Brentford & Isleworth,� he said.


A key feature of the site is the online poll that allows site visitors to vote on crucial issues. Northcote said: �This is a way of getting instant feedback on some of the issues that matter to all of us. I will be changing the question regularly, so keep coming back so you can have your say.�
