Matthew Lynch

Your Labour Councillor for Chorley North West

Matthew Lynch is a proud resident of Chorley and has served as a Borough Councillor for eight years, representing residents who have come to him with a wide range of issues.

As a father of three, Matthew has always been passionate about making sure the vulnerable and those in need always receive the right support, and that young people have every opportunity to succeed in life. As such he is delighted that the Youth Zone is making such a difference in our town.
