Town Mayor Councillor Sarita Chohan and Consort Mr Rishi Chohan

I feel truly honoured to have been nominated as Town Mayor of Westhoughton. This is such a proud moment for me and my family, and I am committed to serving our wonderful community with honesty, dedication, and heart.

I’m a mum to two amazing teenage boys and wife to my husband Rishi, who will be supporting me as my Consort. Many of you will know Rishi through his café, and together we are so grateful to be part of this close-knit community.

Alongside my role as Mayor, I continue to work as a nurse—a role that means so much to me and reflects my passion for caring for others. I am also proud of my ongoing involvement with the Westhoughton Royal British Legion, supporting our Armed Forces community.

My mayoral year will be guided by my theme:

Community, Care and Commitment

I am proud to be supporting my chosen charities:

Westhoughton Assist Service

The Darren Deady Foundation

Both charities do incredible work in supporting individuals and families within our community, and I look forward to raising awareness and funds for these important causes.

I’m really looking forward to meeting more of you, supporting local causes, and making a positive difference together.

Thank you for your support.
