Councillor Harry Hancock was first elected as a Liberal Democrat for Penwortham's Broadoak ward in 2003, and was until very recently, still actively involved in community casework.

He served as Mayor of Penwortham, Mayor of South Ribble, and was also chair of Penwortham In Bloom, a Friend of Marshway Pond, and committed parishioner of Kingsfold Methodist Church.
