Local Campaign Forums are based on council boundaries, allowing several CLP’s that are part of the same local authority area to meet together. Membership comprises the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Labour Group of Councillors, representatives from CLPs and trade unions.

Formerly known as Local Government Committees, LCFs recruit and shortlist potential candidates for council elections.

They co-ordinate campaign activities and develop the election strategy locally.

They also liaise with the Labour Group about local government issues and input into the manifesto for local elections.

The Lancaster District LCF comprises of Morecambe and Lunesdale and Lancaster and Fleetwood constituencies. Morecambe and Lunesdale sends 21 delegates each year to the LCF, which must be gender balanced.
