Council Tax: Continued sound management of Council finances which has seen Council Tax frozen for 6 years.
Town Centre Investment: Continued investment in our town and village centres. Burscough transformed; Ormskirk being transformed in Moor St and the car parks, new Christmas Lights and a new plan to regenerate the Bus Station; Skelmersdale regeneration on course for delivery in 2016.
Transport: Continue to press the County Council to repair potholes, make the long overdue investments to our road and rail network and to maintain and improve essential bus services.
Liverpool City Region: Continue to work closely with this new Authority and pursue full membership so West Lancashire can be part of the Northern Powerhouse and our residents can enjoy the same travel benefits as Merseyside.
Jobs: Under the Conservatives the West Lancashire's economy is growing faster than anywhere else in Lancashire and unemployment is lower. We will continue to play our part in this great success story.
Student Accommodation: Introduce additional restrictions on the number of student properties in residential areas, with student accommodation being concentrated in Ormskirk Town centre.
Councillors & Elections: Reduce the number of Councillors by at least a third and move to single 'all-out' borough elections every four years, saving more than £100k a year.
Housing: Our Local Plan will protect the Greenbelt to the maximum extent possible, while delivering much-needed affordable housing.
Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour: Continue working with Lancashire Police to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, investing in additional CCTV for our towns and villages.
Recycling: Continue to increase recycling and NOT introduce charges for Green Waste collections as in some other Council areas.
Flood Defences and Drainage:Continue to hold the Environment Agency to account so our borough is protected from flooding and resist moves to pass the cost of these works on to the council tax payers of West Lancashire.
