A MILLIONAIRE from Westhoughton has vowed to stand as a independent candidate at this year's council elections.

Bob Norburn, aged 56, decided to stand after he received a wave of support from people following a campaign on yellow lines.

Mr Norburn, of Farleigh Close, has indicated that he will run as an independent socialist candidate in one of the two Westhoughton wards this June and promises "value and respect" for council tax payers.
