Welcome to the Heaton, Lostock & Chew Moor Labour Party

We are a members’ branch of Bolton West Constituency Labour Party, representing the Bolton West Parliamentary Constituency.

Labour is the largest group on Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council with 25 of the 60 council seats to the Conservatives’ 15 and Lib-Dem’s 6. Since May 2023 we have had de-facto control of the Council under the leadership of Councillor Nick Peel.

The current Bolton West MP is Labour’s Phil Brickell who resoundingly defeated the Conservative Chris Green at the general election in July 2024 with a majority of almost 5,000.

Members of Heaton, Lostock & Chew Moor Labour believe in:

Protecting Green Open Spaces – there is a housing crisis in this country but we mustn’t sacrifice our green open spaces, especially land designated as Green Belt.

Opposition to Fracking – we are 100% opposed to fracking and wholeheartedly support the anti-fracking campaign.

Save Our Planet – climate change and its results represent the greatest threat to our planet and combatting climate change must be government’s highest priority.  A Labour government will focus on decarbonising our energy and invest heavily in green industries, providing 10s of thousands skilled, well paid jobs.

Investing in the NHS and Education – we want a healthy, well educated future for our children.  100s of thousands of people currently cannot work due to ill health whilst waiting for treatment by our underfunded NHS. Good health for all must be a priority

Supporting the Most Vulnerable – our priority, above all else, is to help and protect the most vulnerable in society, especially children, the elderly, the homeless and disabled.  We stand for the many, not the few and demand a future fair for all.
