Newcastle Independents, formerly known as Newcastle First, is a localist political party[1] based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Initially established as the Newcastle upon Tyne Community First Party, the party was registered with the Electoral Commission in February 2011 and fielded its first candidates in the 2011 City Council elections.
They won their first council seat in 2019, with two more elected in 2021. The party changed its name from Newcastle First to Newcastle Independents in July 2019, citing in local media a desire to avoid confusion with the far-right Britain First.[1][2].
As of May 2023[update], the party has three councillors elected to Newcastle City Council.
