Help Direct - Safe Trader Scheme in partnership with Lancashire County Council Trading Standards
Help Direct's Safe Trader Scheme is funded by Lancashire County Council and managed by Lancashire Trading Standards Service. The service aims to help citizens of Lancashire find a reliable trader, as well as supporting local businesses.
All members of the Safe Trader Scheme have met minimum requirements, set out by the Trading Standards Service and have all committed to adhere to a Code of Practice. Not only does this give you added peace of mind when choosing a trader, but the support of Lancashire Trading Standards Service also means that there's someone to help if things don't go to plan!

I am the County Councillor for the Electoral Division of West Lancashire South (covering Aughton, Downholland, Halsall, Altcar, Simmonswood and Bickerstaffe) to serve the interests of all residents, regardless of political persuasion. I am the elected representative for this area until May 2013. However, I am the Group Whip for the Conservative Party and take an active interest in a number of national and local campaigns. It would not be appropriate for me to use this website to promote these campaigns though you can visit the official Party website by selecting the link to be found in My Politics.
These are the committees and sub committees I sit on:
- County Council
- Scrutiny Committee
- Urgent Committee of the Full Council
