Active For Westhoughton was established in March 2020 by local residents who came together, having become disillusioned with mainstream party politics at a local level.
Our core philosophy is simple - that mainstream party politics belongs in Westminster, and has no place in local Government. Our political model is one which is community led and encourages independent vision. Our aim is to 'reinvent politics on a local level'.
Active For Westhoughton will stand candidates in both local and Parish elections - that is, for Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council and Westhoughton Town Council.
Active For Westhoughton is neither of the left or the right of the political spectrum, with our policies being based on direct community feedback and a determination between what is right or wrong, without prejudice or favour.
Our members come from varied backgrounds and include local residents, local business owners and those who work within Westhoughton, all of whom have come together to see and to be a part of real change in the town. We welcome anyone, of any background, who share our passion for the town, who want to make a difference, and ultimately 'be the change'.
