Who we are

Along with Atherton, Horwich & Blackrod, Horwich North East, Smithills, Westhoughton North & Chew Moor and Westhoughton South, we are one of the seven Members' Branches of the Bolton West Constituency Labour Party.

Where we are

We represent Heaton, Lostock, Ladybridge a part of Deane and other smaller areas to the west of Bolton, UK

What we believe in

We have a few overriding beliefs:            The right of all people to freedom, democracy, justice, food, education, medical care and other essentials of life           The right to be represented at work and not exploited           The right of equality regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, place of birth or upbringing  We are democratic Socialists who firmly believe that politics must benefit the most disadvantaged in our society but that participating must be fun too.
