History
The group was formed in June 2022 as the Poole Local Group, by five councillors.[1][2] Four out of the five members were deselected by the Poole Conservative Association for the 2023 election. They successfully appealed but decided not to return to the Conservative Party, hence the creation of a new party.[3] With the founding of the party, the council was once again under no overall control, and the Conservatives were put into a minority administration.[2]
The party changed its name to the Poole Engage Party in December 2022.[4]
They stood 16 candidates in the 2023 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council election.[5] Only party leader Judes Butt in Creekmoor and Julie Bagwell in Hamworthy were re-elected.[6]
