Joined the Liberals in 1974 and has been a member ever since. Bill was a member of Fylde Borough Council for 15 years.

The main reason for my being in politics is that I believe that everyone should be treated fairly, not the same, just fairly. That is why I am a Liberal Democrat.

Everyone has the right to be treated fairly - Everyone has the duty to treat others fairly.

Everyone has the right to have their voice heard - Nobody has the right to dictate what someone else will do.

His priorities - Health - so that we have a long and happy life

Education - do that we can have an interesting and enjoyable life
