Donald Mcintosh for Bolton West

Better health care
People are struggling to see a GP and are waiting longer for an ambulance or urgent care. Lib Dems will guarantee a GP appointment within 7 days, or 24 hours if urgent, as a legal right to address the pressure on the NHS and improve access to healthcare.
-
Stop the sewage pollution
The Conservatives are allowing water companies to dump sewage into our seas and rivers, expecting taxpayers to foot the bill for the cleanup. The Lib Dems demand that water companies clean up their own mess and are calling for a sewage tax on their £2.2 billion annual profits to ensure the government addresses this issue properly.
-
Sustainable development
Development in Bolton West is happening unsustainably, putting pressure on roads, infrastructure, and community services. While Labour and Conservative councillors support the Places for Everyone plan, leading to the loss of green belt land, the Lib Dems advocate for a bypass on the old A5225 route and demand that developers fulfil their obligations to fund local initiatives and infrastructure.
