The CNJ special on Camden Conservatives at CPC11

The group photo of Camden's Tories had a splendid turnout this year. The main story that Richard Osley choose to focus on however, was comments from Cllr Jonny Bucknell going against party lines on asking for the entire HS2 development to be axed.

Since the proposed route would cut underground through virtually most of Camdens housing estates such as Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage and parts of Kilburn. Cllr Bucknell voiced valid concerns for the residents of Camden. And is completely correct to represent his ward of Belsize.

On such local issues Councillors often go against national party lines.

Camden Group held an excellent reception on the last night of Conference.
