When Reform took control of Lancashire County Council, we made clear our view: Lancashire should no longer be responsible for administering the Government’s refugee resettlement schemes.

What happened next?

Councillors from 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲, 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀, 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿, 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀 and the 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀 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 6–4 that the Reform administration had followed the council’s 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.

𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼.

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.

🌾🚜 Backing Lancashire Farmers, Backing Our Future

We were proud to join NFU Lancashire on Friday for at New Laund Farm, Whitewell where John Alpe showed us a fantastic example of organic farming, environmental stewardship and public engagement.

We also heard directly from Wright Farm Produce, AW & MA Webster, H&P Ashcroft and Bilsborrow Hall Farm about the challenges facing Lancashire farmers and what we can do to support them.

Lancashire farming is so much more than fields and tractors. From market gardens and glasshouses in West Lancashire to dairies in the Ribble Valley, our farmers feed our communities, care for our countryside and drive our rural economy.

Reform UK Lancashire is committed to supporting practical local initiatives that protect farming, food production and our rural communities for generations to come.

🇬🇧 Back British Farming. Back Lancashire Farmers. 🌾

Adult social care should work for people, not paperwork.

Less bureaucracy. Earlier support. Greater independence.

People deserve a system that works and that’s what we’re delivering in Lancashire under the Reform administration.

No more excuses. No more buck-passing. Those in charge must be accountable for delivering better care and we intend to hold them to it.

Real progress. Real results for Lancashire’s children.

Over the next week, Reform UK Lancashire is showing you what’s changed over the last year starting with children’s services and SEND.

Families are getting support sooner, standards are rising and the results speak for themselves: Lancashire County Council’s Children’s Services has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted, with strong findings across the inspection.

A major achievement. There’s more to do, but we’re getting on with it.

Lancashire Reorganisation Plans Paused. The Government has today announced a review of its Local Government Reorganisation programme, pausing plans across the country — including Lancashire, Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool. The Secretary of State, Angela Rayner, has confirmed to Parliament that decisions already taken in Essex, Hampshire, Norfolk and Suffolk have been withdrawn following updated legal advice.

A further 14 areas, Lancashire among them, will be reviewed and paused, alongside Cambridgeshire & Peterborough and West Sussex. Local elections in May 2027 will now go ahead on existing council boundaries. Only Surrey, where the new authorities are already established in law, is unaffected.

Reform-led Lancashire County Council has voted to end its voluntary role in administering the Government’s refugee resettlement schemes, allowing the council to refocus its resources on Lancashire residents and frontline services.
