New constituency boundaries and candidates in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble for the 2024 general electionTwo of the Lancashire candidates vying for votes in the general election have clashed over whether the county should have an elected mayor.
The calling of the snap election actually meant the legislation to bring the new arrangements into force did not make it through Parliament, leaving in limbo a deal that Lancashire first started to pursue eight years ago. “So that’s what I would be championing and promoting if I’m elected your MP,” the Labour candidate added.
“But the truth is the Tories have a reputation of fighting like rats in a sack in Lancashire, the Labour Party definitely and …we need our voice. Meanwhile, South Ribble’s Liberal Democrat candidate Ange Turner told the hustings audience that she feared that a “big mayoral model” would ultimately threaten the role of district authorities such as South Ribble of which she, like Paul Foster, is a member.
