Amy Wrigley

Amy Wrigley is well known in the community, having worked with young people at the Satellite Centre in Greenfield for a number of years. Elected to the Parish Council in 2023, she has already made her mark with a commitment to get a banking hub for the area, which is desperately under-served by banks. 

She said: "I have the pleasure of working with many wonderful people in our community, listening to their opinions and hopes for Saddleworth South. In particular, I work with young people who are often excluded, helping them to enjoy themselves in a positive way. And it's time to give priority to Saddleworth's young people who want to live and work here but can't find an affordable home to bring up a family. We also need better services for older and vulnerable people.

"I want to make sure youth and family services are easily accessible for people in Saddleworth. Only the Lib Dems are fighting to keep our local Childrens’ Centre; and working hard for a new health centre to provide a wider range of services than just a GP surgery.

"We’re protecting our precious green spaces and rivers and continue to call for our area to pull out of the controversial Greater Manchester Places for Everyone scheme. Building luxury houses on the greenbelt does not solve the housing crisis.

"We’ve already delivered in recent campaigns – persuading Oldham Council to agree to 20mph outside schools to make them safer, campaigning for years to make Network Rail agree to fund proper access to Greenfield Station for people with prams or wheelchairs, and working with the new River Ranger team to clean up our local rivers."
