When Reform took control of Lancashire County Council, we made clear our view: Lancashire should no longer be responsible for administering the Governmentโs refugee resettlement schemes.
What happened next?
Councillors from ๐ข๐๐ฟ ๐ช๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ, ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐, ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ฟ, ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ and the ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป๐ all backed a cross-party attempt to challenge the decision.
Think about that.
Parties that spend their time fighting each other suddenly found common ground when it came to challenging a Reform decision.
They tried to stop it through a formal call-in, questioning the decision, the process and the financial implications.
And they failed.
The scrutiny committee voted 6โ4 that the Reform administration had followed the councilโs decision-making principles. The decision stands.
This is exactly why people voted Reform.
While the old parties defend the status quo, Reform is delivering change.

No more Lancashire County Council acting as the administrator and coordinator for these Government refugee schemes.
The message is simple:
Lancashire County Council should concentrate on Lancashire.
