Help Direct is a service being developed for all adults in Lancashire. Help Direct will provide the practical support, guidance and information you need to get the most out of life.

You can access Help Direct across Lancashire. All areas will have a local base where you can walk in and talk to someone.

You will also be able to access Help Direct in all sorts of different local places. Look out for the Help Direct sign at: one stop shops, libraries, community centres, doctor’s surgeries, community group organisation offices, and lots of other places where you live.

I am the County Councillor elected by the people of the Chorley South division of Lancashire County Council. This website is provided by Lancashire County Council, and it is not appropriate to spend the taxpayer's money to advance a particular political cause or point of view, so this is not a political site. However, many of the reasons I stood for the Council, and that people voted for me, are to do with believing that we would be better governed under one political arrangement than any of the alternatives. For that reason I maintain a separate website at www.samchapman.com which I update on a more regular basis, and where neither myself or my visitors need to worry about any content being excluded on the basis that it might be considered to be too political.

* Councillors will represent you regardless of political persuasion. This site has been provided subject to an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that this Councillor has agreed to.
