Before the elections in June, Conservatives at the county council pledged to improve road maintenance if they took control of the council.  An additional £9million has been allocated to improve roads across Lancashire and the following roads will benefit in the West Lancashire constituency:

• Alexander Close, Burscough
• Chorley Road/Robin Lane junction, Hilldale
• Part of Redgate, Ormskirk
• Ludlow Drive, Ormskirk
• Stopgate Lane, Simonswood
• Gladden Place, Skelmersdale
• Ivybridge, Skelmersdale
• Small length of Lancaster Crescent, Skelmersdale
• Lyndale, Skelmersdale
• Part of Pimbo Lane, UpHolland
