Standing for Election in 2014

The 2014 elections have once again been announced for Bolton Borough Council. To be held on Thursday 22nd May 2014, polling stations will be open from 07:00am to 10:00pm.

As reported in the Bolton News (24/4), I will be standing in the ‘Westhoughton North and Chew Moor’ ward. Of the 20 wards in Bolton – all of which have their own challenges and issues – Westhoughton North and Chew Moor is geographically the biggest in Bolton, and is described as the toughest ward of all! It has its own long history and traditions with its own sense of independence from Bolton. The ward is politically challenging in that over the last 9 years since its formation in 2004, it never has returned a sitting councillor. Its seats have been divided between the three main parties. This election you could have a say in electing its first Independent Councillor...


The rest of this blog post is here Election 2014. It is a permanent page which I will add as to as the campaign progresses.
