"The Prime Minister’s announcement of an extra £20 billion a year cash injection for the NHS, will I’m sure be welcomed across Lancashire.

Cllr Andrew Snowden is a County Councillor for Hoghton with Wheelton and Lead Member for Highways and Transport on Lancashire County Council.

County Councillor Aidy Riggott writes "Last week I was proud to join my Conservative colleagues County Councillor's Keith Iddon, Andrew Snowden and Mark Perks in voting to reopen the Lancashire libraries that had been disgracefully closed by the previous Labour administration at County Hall.

Dear Editor,

Andrew Snowden, the Conservative’s Council Candidate for Wheelton and Withnell in 2016, who led a series of campaigns on dangerous driving, dog-fouling, flooding and spending on rural areas, will continue his fight as our County Council candidate for the new Lancashire County Council Division Hog

After last year’s heavy storms, which left roads impassable for weeks, Labour-run Lancashire County Council are still not interested in preventing further flooding in Euxton, Buckshaw and Astley.

In a letter to the editor to the Lancashire Evening Post, and published today, County Councillor Geoff Driver, leader of the Conservative Group, dismisses crocodile tears from Labour's spokesman about not wanting to close county libraries.

Chorley's Labour council have revealed they spent £4,550 before VAT on hospitality entertaining three businesses at the Royal Horticultural Society Show in Chelsea last year.   To compare with the lives of Chorley's hardworking families, that is equivalent to a face value with VAT of £546 each.  We look at one way how they could have spent no more than £378 a little more than 2 miles away from the show. 

In his letter to the editor, the Conservative choice for Police and Crime commissioner, Andrew Pratt writes about the Police and Fire Authority workimng together.
