Local Party Honorary President - Lady Carolyn Harford

As the title suggests, the President of the local party is an honorary position awarded to someone who has given great service to the party and who offers support and advice without any formal duties.

In some local parties, the President might be a national party figure, like an MP or member of the House of Lords, who offers to mentor the local team. Other local parties honour someone local who has worked long and hard in their borough or constituency.
