Joan Williamson

Your Labour Councillor for Euxton

I have lived in Euxton Chorley for over 13 years and feel adopted here by the friendly folk. I was born in East Lancashire in Burnley but have lived in other parts of the country, once on the other side of the Pennines!

Most of my working life has been spent in the public sector although I have worked for private companies too. Whilst student grants were available, I was able to complete a BA Hons degree and went on to study for a Master’s degree.

Now retired from paid work, I feel able to give time to the community I live in. Having both used libraries and worked in one, keeping our library open is high on my list of priorities. Chorley Library is such an asset for all residents. Dance, keep-fit classes, reading and walking are pursuits I enjoy. I am also a member of the Unison Retired Members Group, having served as a union representative in my work life.

Since 2018 I have been an Euxton Parish Councillor and enjoy learning and working for our communities.
