Lizzi Collinge for Lancaster East

This website is undergoing an update, please be patient with any oddities while this happens!
My name is Lizzi Collinge and I am the Labour County Councillor for Lancaster East. I have served since 2016 and I hope to be re-elected in 2021.
My Priorities
ZERO CARBON LANCASHIRE BY 2030
The climate emergency is at a critical stage; we have less than a decade to turn climate change around and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero. I am committed to a socially just transition to a low carbon economy and life for all.
A GREAT START FOR OUR KIDS
Supporting local schools to continue delivering great education, with wrap around support services for all families, particularly those with additional needs.
PERSON-CENTRED SOCIAL CARE
Every person who needs social care should be able to expect swift assessment of their individual needs and services that meet those needs.
AN ACCESSIBLE LANCASTER
Too many artificial barriers are put in people’s way, with a disabling environment the norm. I want every street and building to be fully accessible, whether that’s quiet times to avoid sensory overload or proper dropped kerbs to enable wheelchair users to travel freely.
A HEALTHY LIFE FOR EVERYONE
We have to get serious about preventing ill health and enabling every one to live a healthy life. I believe in doing this by changing and improving the wider determinants of health – poverty, housing, access to good food, access to quality outdoor space and mental-health friendly society.
