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 have been re-elected as a County Councillor for the Electoral Division of Garstang and once again I will endeavour to serve the interests of all residents, regardless of political persuasion. This division covers not only the town of Garstang but also the surrounding rural areas.

I am, however, a member of a political 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.

Many residents already write or telephone me regarding local and national issues ; but I now hope that this web site will give even more constituents, additional access to me.

These are the committees and sub committees I sit on:

• Supporting the work of the Cabinet Member for Adult and Community Services (Lead Member - Health)
• County Council
• Cabinet Working Group on Voluntary Community Faith Sector
• Cabinet - Fairness for All Working Group
• Corporate Parenting Board
