Andy Lord

Liberal Democrats candidate for Healey

Liberal Democrats

A local voice for Healey, Shawclough and Syke I’m standing to be your councillor because I believe our area deserves someone who will listen, act, and stand up for residents. I was born in Rochdale, raised in Deeplish, and have lived and worked locally for most of my life. This isn’t just where I’m standing — it’s my home. Over the past few years, I’ve been actively working in the community, raising issues that matter to residents, including: Ongoing planning breaches affecting Shawclough residents Road safety concerns near local schools Dangerous footpaths and poor road conditions The need for better communication and accountability from the Council Too often, residents tell me they feel ignored or that nothing gets done. That needs to change. If elected, my priorities are simple: Fix the issues that affect everyday life in our area Ensure residents’ concerns are properly heard and acted upon Push for real accountability from the Council Work with the community to deliver practical solutions This campaign isn’t about politics for the sake of it — it’s about getting things done for our community. At the last election, we came within 131 votes of second place. This time, with your support, we can go further. If you want a councillor who is visible, approachable, and willing to fight for local residents, I would be honoured to have your vote. Andy Lord Liberal Democrat Candidate for Healey Ward
