Sadly unsurprising facts from the Office of National Statistics - Chorley East remains the poorest area in Chorley based on average household income. More needs to be done to reduce local inequalities - something I have called for since I was elected in 2021

Many people are struggling with their finances right now amid the cost-of-living crisis.

Last week I wrote to the Chief Executive of Chorley Council expressing my concern on behalf of Chorley residents about the growing misinformation surrounding the 20-minute neighbourhoods policy. We should not let online conspiracy theories ignite the next culture war, nor should the views of the public fail to be addressed. I am pleased that he has agreed to put together a public briefing on this issue which should be released shortly.

The public consultation on the Central Lancashire Local Plan (Part 1) is open until 24th February. This is the most important document affecting Chorley for the next ten years and beyond. The survey can be a bit tedious but the site allocations on page 8 are very important. You can access it here:
