Moreton West & Saughall Massie

And, unlike the other parties, we keep in touch all year round and we work hard on local issues in our community.

Since being elected in 2023, we have:

  • Brought banking back to Moreton
  • Secured the re-opening of Saughall Bridge Post Office

  • Bring the long-awaited new station to Town Meadow
  • improve facilities at Lingham Park, working with Moreton FC
  • Deliver the promised expansion of Moreton Library

What's the most important issue in your community?

Unlike the other parties, we carry out regular postal surveys and door-to-door visits, weather permitting!  We do this so we can help residents tackle issues in their road or neighbourhood and also gain support for some of the bigger projects. 

But we can’t do it alone. Your views can help to make a difference to the community.
