Reform UK Fylde

Good news for Lytham St Annes.

Work has started on nine new supported living apartments for people with a learning disability and autistic people. This is being delivered by Lancashire County Council, under Reform UK's administration, working with RWP, one of the UK's largest supported living providers. Swanton Care will provide the on-site support.

Each apartment is self-contained with its own wet room. There's a shared garden and communal space, plus staff on hand 24 hours a day. Energy efficient tech like air source heat pumps is being fitted throughout, keeping running costs down for tenants.

Completion is due summer 2027.

This is what a Reform-run county council is getting on with. Real investment, real independence for people who need support, delivered without fuss. More schemes like this to come.

Reform has announced that ONLY British people will be entitled to British welfare and social housing. 🇬🇧

The fact the Tories and Labour oppose it says it all.

The fact the media are screaming about it says it all.

Enough is enough.

❌ Kirkham Baths – closed since 2021, no reopening date

❌ St Annes Pool – closed since March, missed its own June reopening target

❌ St Annes Paddling Pool – shut for safety works, no return date

❌ St Annes Boating Lake – drained, patched, refilled, lost the water again within a week

❌ St Annes Road West – ran out of money, downgraded to tarmac outside the Town Hall

Fylde's Conservatives: Spend First, Explain Never

St Annes Road West has been disrupted for months, with residents shown visualisations of what they were paying for. This week: an email saying the council's run out of money—the pavement outside the Town Hall and Braxfield Court will now be cheap tarmac instead.

Nobody asked residents. The decision was made behind closed doors by a Programme Board in June, and there's "no further opportunity for reconsideration." Translation: it's done, the money's gone, and your opinion doesn't matter.

Same story everywhere in St Annes. The boating lake, patched with half a tonne of bitumen this month, lost most of its water again within a week—no funded fix, just another "options appraisal." The paddling pool's shut with no return date. Kirkham Baths and St Annes Pool have been closed between them for years, past every promised reopening date.

Announce it, spend the money, let residents live with the disruption, then quietly downgrade or shelve it and dare anyone to ask why.

Fylde's about to lose its own council altogether, merging into the new Fylde Coast Council. Is this the record you trust to have your voice in the room when that happens?

Is your Lancashire MP worth it?

Fylde Conservatives are patting themselves on the back today for refusing a 54 hectare solar farm in Staining and Hardhorn. Too industrial. Rural character harmed. Highway safety risk. Green Belt.

Same council just approved one at Clifton Marsh. 69 hectares. Bigger than the one they just turned down.

Council officers even admitted it would make the site more industrial and harm the landscape. Approved anyway.

You can't tell Staining residents industrial scale solar is unacceptable then wave through a bigger one down the road a few weeks later.

Pick a principle and stick to it.

A solar farm the size of around 100 football pitches has been formally approved in Fylde after the completion of a legal agreement.

It’s unbelievable that there isn’t now a single public swimming pool anywhere in Fylde, despite us living on the coast.

One year ago, you put two Reform members into County Hall. Both now sit on the Cabinet running Lancashire County Council. 🇬🇧

Joshua Roberts. Cabinet Member for Rural Affairs, Environment and Communities.

David Dwyer. Cabinet Member for Resources, Property and Efficiency.

These are just some of their and Reform Lancashire's achievements:

✅ 180,000 illegal vapes and ci******es seized.
✅ A £28 million projected overspend cut to £2.9 million.
✅ 46% fewer potholes across Lancashire in a single year.
✅ The highways budget up from £43 million to £77 million.
✅ A balanced budget despite £1.2 billion of inherited debt.

Don't take our word for it. Every number comes from the council's own public meetings.

🎥 Budget and Finance Scrutiny, 29 June 2026

One year down. Plenty more to do. 💪
