Our Setting

Topsham is a town near Exeter in the county of Devon, England, on the east side of the River Exe, immediately north of its confluence with the River Clyst and the former’s estuary, between Exeter and Exmouth.

St Loyes is primarily a residential area of Exeter, found between Barrack Road, Fore Street Heavitree/East Wonford Hill and Topsham Road.

Our Branch

Topsham and St Loyes branch covers old and new Topsham, Glasshouse, Newcourt, Seabrook and parts of Priory, St Loyes and Wonford wards.  Firmly part of East Devon Constituency Labour Party, we are in a currently (2019) Conservative held constituency, represented by Hugo Swire MP, but for local elections we are part of Exeter City Council, currently represented by three Conservative councillors.  We send delegates to both the East Devon Constituency Labour Party meetings and to Exeter CLP meetings, so branch members can get more involved in either or both depending on their interests.  We have approximately 120 members of which 20 or so come to monthly meetings.  Members also get involved in national or local campaigns, including elections,  we hold monthly informal lunches aimed at retired members, together with occasional social events for all.  As a branch we try to keep Labour Party procedures and bureaucracy to the minimum, preferring to spend monthly branch meetings learning and engaging with the political issues of the day, inviting speakers when necessary, but using the considerable experience and expertise of our own members to enlighten and enthuse us.  We very much welcome all members of the Labour Party, whatever their particular shade of Labour, so discussions on policy and issues are both lively and respectful.  Our aim is to encourage political interest, give voice to Labour values and perspectives and to challenge the inequalities promoted or tolerated by other political parties.

To contact our Branch Officers if you are a Labour Party member please use the details displayed on your current membership card or login to My Labour. Our CLP Secretary will then be able to direct you to our Branch Officers so you can join the Labour family close by to you.
