I grew up in Skelmersdale and I raised my family in the town. I still live in Skelmersdale on High Street in Old Skem.
As your councillor I have worked with my Labour colleagues on a number of initiatives to improve the area, e.g tackling anti-social behaviour, opposing the Whitemoss extension.
I am proud to have led the campaign against the car-parking charges which the last Conservative administration threatened to impose on Sandy Lane Shopping Centre. Working with residents, shop owners, Lancashire County Council and our MP, we managed to stop these charges which would have been detrimental to the area.
