Candidates in the local elections in Burntwood say they are “proud” to be flying the Co-operative flag.

Steve Norman and Sue Woodward, who will contest the Chase Terrace ward at Lichfield District Council, will stand under the Labour and Co-operative banner.

There are currently 1,200 Labour and Co-operative councillors across the country.

Since 1927, candidates have been able to stand as such following an agreement in place between the Labour Party and the Co-operative Party.

Steve said:

> “Being a Co-operative member signals a belief in the values of honesty, openness, social responsibility, fairness and caring for others. This is what I came into politics for and to put these values into action.”  
>  
> Steve Norman

Sue added:

“For me, cooperation is about inclusion and partnership working.

> “People don’t want councils doing things to them but with them – and we have seen real progress on partnerships and co-production here in Burntwood, not least as members if the Cooperative Councils Innovation Network.”  
>  
> Sue Woodward

Joe Fortune, General Secretary at the Co-operative Party added:

> “The Co-operative Party is a growing force in councils across the country.  
>  
> “Together we have brought change on issues like modern slavery, fair tax, high streets and food justice. We have achieved so much, but there is still much more to do.  
>  
> “This May, the Co-operative Party will be standing a record number of candidates.  
>  
> “I’m excited to see us elect these brilliant candidates and see the co-operative difference they will make at town halls across the country.”  
>  
> Joe Fortune, Co-operative Party
