Mr Gower recently moved back to Coventry from the party’s Belfast administration centre and has been based there assisting Mr Deacon with the running of the region.

“These techniques have paid off in the party’s Coventry and Warwickshire branches and we have already seen an upturn in activism as more members become involved in local meetings and socials,” he said.

“I hope to utilise similar techniques across the whole of the West Midlands so that we can update all our members on local party events and activities with the aim of continually extending the party’s reach,” Mr Gower said.
