Local Organic Farmer Alan Schofield pushed the Labour Party into third place in the Wyreside County Division at the recent June elections for Lancashire County Council. Alan, who runs the Growing with Nature Organic farm at Pilling with his wife Debra, got 1147 votes nearly double the vote for the Labour party candidate. The seat was retained by the sitting Conservative Councillor.  Alan Said ” We are very encouraged by the result. This is the first time people in this area have had a chance to vote Green at local elections.”
