Amber Valley Conservatives

Amber Valley Conservative Association covers the parliamentary area of Amber Valley - a diverse and thriving area including vibrant towns such as Ripley, Heanor and Alfreton, and villages such as Heage, Codnor, Smalley and Shipley.

Our Association is led by a team of Officers elected annually by local members, and supported from our constituency office in Matlock. Our association chairman is local Councillor Jack Brown MBE.

Conservatives in Amber Valley are taking a lead in making a cleaner, greener and safer community.

• We have a strong position in control of Amber Valley Borough Council since 2000.

• In 2007 we took control of Ripley Town Council for the first time since the council was formed.

• In 2009 local Conservatives took control of Derbyshire County Council.

• We also have hard working and dedicated councillors on other local authorities such as Alfreton Town Council and Heanor Town Council.
