I live in Bacup and am involved in many community groups including Bacup pride. I am regularly out and about in the Town all year around and available to speak to residents. People often say they only see Councillors when it’s an election. I hope to continue to change that. If you want to get in contact you can also do so by emailing, telephoning or message me on social media.
