In Richard's own words

LET'S PUT WESTHOUGHTON FIRST

I’m standing as an Independent candidate for Westhoughton South with a clear set of priorities focused on what really matters to residents:

- Value for money – greater transparency and accountability to stop wasteful spending

- Fix our roads properly – no more short-term patches, tackle potholes for good

- Safer streets – work with police to reduce anti-social behaviour

- Stronger community voice – make sure residents are heard and involved

- Cleaner, greener neighbourhoods – tackle fly-tipping and improve street cleaning

- Better spaces for children – safe, modern play areas for families

This is about focusing on the basics, listening to residents, and delivering real improvements for our town.

Your voice. Your money. Your Westhoughton.

🗳 Vote Independent on 7th May.
