Rish wants the sinking road surface on Leigh Road to be fixed before it gets worse

Rish wants to see better street cleaning, like here on Park Road

Rish owns a small cafe on Market Street. He says: “This has given me first-hand experience of the serious concerns that Howfeners are facing here in Westhoughton, as well as the challenges of the small businesses in the area too.

“For me it is a tragedy that the historical past of the town is being slowly eradicated of which Westhoughton was built upon.

“Being a Liberal Democrat candidate, I strongly believe that I can make a significant contribution to the community and uphold the strong and historic values of the town.”
