About OBSCA

Old Bexley & Sidcup Conservative Association (OBSCA) members and elected representatives are working hard for the people of Bexley, Blackfen, Foots Cray, Sidcup, Welling, and their surrounding areas. Not just at election time - all the time. They are volunteers from all walks of life, who believe in the core Conservative principles and want to make them a reality.

They have fun together, raising money for campaigning, delivering leaflets, talking to electors and getting involved in campaigns. Members have more opportunities to discuss local and national policies with their Councillors and MP. Members are also welcome to take part in our regular Policy Forums where we debate Conservative policy and provide feedback to Conservative Central Office.

To apply to become a Councillor, a School Governor, or a Member please visit the Membership page.

About Us

OBSCA Canvassing
Most Saturdays (and the occasional weekday) many OBSCA members including Councillors and our MP, James Brokenshire, are out canvassing in one of our Wards to establish peoples views and concerns.

OBSCA Members out Canvassing

Whilst the majority of people are not in when we call we do leave our contact information. However, by speaking to local residents we are able to address their issues, understand their concerns, and represent their views.

Despite this we still occasionally get some residents say that "there must be an election coming" or amusingly confusing us with religious groups!

Overall most residents appreciate the fact that we are genuinely trying to improve their neighbourhood. We recommend that YOU join us canvassing.

OBSCA Leafleting
We need YOUR help to distribute leaflets in your OBSCA Ward.

Each Ward typically has around 4500 residences and the more helpers we have the easier the distribution task and the faster we can keep residents informed.

There can be two to five leaflet runs per year dependant upon the Ward.

If you can spare the time to deliver to a single street or more then please contact us.

Guaranteed to make you appreciate the Royal Mail and the merits of various types of letter box!

OBSCA Fund Raising
A number of OBSCA Wards hold various formal and informal social events in their homes to raise monies for the OBSCA Campaign Fund.

Often these include prizes, games, raffles, and auctions. The cost of the event is usually covered by the income generated to ensure that the host is not out of pocket.

It is not unusual to see MP's, GLA Assembly Members, MEP's, and Councillors in attendance discussing various policies with OBSCA members.

Always a very sociable and friendly atmosphere and there is always help at hand. Highly recommended.
