County Councillor Mark Perks welcomes you to his website.

Hello and thank you for visiting my website. I am the County Councillor for the electoral division of Chorley North. The area I represent includes Astley Village, Buckshaw Village, Euxton North and  Clayton & Whittle. I am the elected representative for this area until May 2009.
My website gives you news from my area of Chorley and the many activities, organisations and interests that I have. I hope you find it of interest. Do let me know if you would like me to add any of your issues or events  you would like highlighting or promoting.

You can contact me by telephone on either :- Home 01257 279209 or mobile 07917 627354. If you would prefer to write you can do so by email at :- mark.perks@cc.lancscc.gov.uk or to 8 Bracken Close, Chorley, PR6 0EJ.

As your County Councillor I will endeavour to serve the interests of all residents, regardless of political persuasion. I am, however, a member of 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 related external websites by selecting some of the links to be found on this site.
