From the day I was elected I felt it was of the utmost importance to meet with and speak to the people of Little Lever on as many occasions as possible.
In common with other Ward Councillors I hold a formal 'surgery' periodically, - in my case on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month between 9.30am and 10.30am at St Matthews Church House on Market St.
After these surgeries I then spend some time on the Precinct Square chatting with shoppers passing by who update me on what is going on in their lives and inevitably drawing my attention to matters that concern them.
I have found this a valuable way of keeping my finger on the pulse of the community.
In addition to this, on more days than not, I pop in and out of the shops and businesses in the Centre to enquire about how trade is in these difficult economic times.
I am not in the least embarrased to say that I probably have more contact with the Electors than most of the other Councillors in Bolton and intend to continue to do so.
