LABOUR
Key priorities £500K earmarked for tackling climate change and becoming a carbon neutral borough by 2030. Ensure that Chorley builds back from the pandemic as a better, fairer and happier place to live, work and visit.
Council leader Alistair Bradley says he is campaigning on Labour’s track record of improving the life and health of the borough’s residents – and pledging that such a principle would continue to underpin any future Labour administration in Chorley.
“We want to invest to give people a safe environment and so that we’re not wholly dependent on council tax. That also adds to the local economy and creates jobs. We have been going over and above what you would expect a district council to do – stepping in when other people no longer [offer certain services] or don’t do things to our high expectations.

A government decision that could force councils to return to face-to-face meetings from next month has been met with criticism and concern across much of Lancashire. Ministers have said that powers introduced last year enabling local authorities to stage remote meetings as a result of the pandemic will end, as planned, on 6th May. In a letter to town and county halls late last month, local government minister Luke Hall said that the success of the vaccine rollout and a fall in the number of Covid cases should ensure a “significant reduction in risk for local authority members meeting in person”.
