Your view of party conference: Conservatives in Manchester

There's always an immense amount of coverage of party conferences from the inside; the politicians, the delegates and the many commentators but we rarely get a glimpse of what's going on outside the security zone.

We'd like to get your perspective of what it's like with a party conference in town – whether it's increased police presence, security measures, perhaps roads are closed or demonstrations are taking place. You can also share what you think the politicians should be taking notice of in your area and perhaps aren't.

Last week, the Labour party conference didn't make much impact on Brighton's population – though it was an opportunity for a quip or two.

This Years Panto "He's Behind You Ed" Producer Ed Balls starts 3 Months Early this year due to high demand.

Oxfam in the centre of Brighton always has a cheeky message on its board...

So we'd like to see if the Tory party's presence makes any more impact in Manchester. You can contribute video, pictures or text by clicking on the blue contribute buttons. If you're out and about and you happen to see something you want to share then you can download the free GuardianWitness app on your smartphone. We'd like to see your pictures but video works really well too.

We'll be including your best content in our coverage of the conference.
