The party campaigned on a wide range of issues but principally on the more vigorous promotion of a bypass for the town. The party won a majority of the seats on Boston Borough Council at the 2007 election and retained control of the council until the 2011 election, when it lost control to the Conservatives. The party was renamed the Boston District Independents shortly after the 2011 election, and was deregistered as a political party in December 2012, with its remaining councillors becoming independents and sitting as a political group rather than a registered party.
