As a mum, a carer, a cancer survivor and a Lancashire lass, I have seen 12 years of a Conservative government putting every part of our lives under attack.

I’ve spent 25 years working with grassroots communities in local government. I now work part-time for a Lancashire charity. My life has been about helping residents and improving their local services, and I am passionate to do the same for West Lancashire.

The Conservatives’ have spent 13 years underfunding our NHS, they have let down our children with crumbling schools, inadequate resources and lack of opportunities.

Now they have crashed our economy and their Cost of Living Crisis is affecting hard-working families in West Lancashire, forcing them to choose between eating or heating.

We deserve so much better than this.

I will stand up for local people and be your champion in West Lancashire.
