Lancashire County Council local elections: parties set out pledges and priorities in final pitch for votes

Ahead of the big vote, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) has given all the parties contesting two or more seats a final chance to make a pitch for public support.

The Conservatives currently control Lancashire County Council and have done so since 2017. At this week’s poll, a party will need to secure 43 seats or more to achieve a majority on the 84-seat authority.

The present political make-up of County Hall – after taking into account changes of party allegiance over the past four years since the last election – is:

Conservatives – 46 seats

Labour – 26 seats

Liberal Democrats – 2 seats

Green Party – 2 seats

Reform UK – 2 seats

Independents – 5 seats

Vacancies – 1 seat

The Conservatives, Labour, the Green Party and Reform UK will be contesting all of the available seats.

The Liberal Democrats are fielding 62 candidates, the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition are standing eight, Our West Lancashire have put forward four, the Alliance for Democracy and Freedom two and the UK Independence Party and the Workers Party of Great Britain one each.

Meanwhile, 23 independent candidates – individuals not affiliated to any political party – are standing across 20 divisions (see list below).

Several current county councillors are contesting seats either for a party other than the one they represented at the last vote in 2021, or as independents, having previously been part of a party.

For the first time at a Lancashire County Council election, you will need to bring with you suitable photo ID if you are voting in person at a polling station – such as a driving licence, passport or a bus pass for older or disabled people. Polling stations are open between 7am and 10pm.

Postal votes must have reached the electoral office for your area by the time the polls close. It is now too late to apply to vote by post and to register to vote, if you have not already done so.

In certain emergency circumstances - such as a medical emergency, being called away from home for work or losing your photo ID in the days before an election - you can still apply for someone else to vote on your behalf up until 5pm on polling day itself. To do so, you should contact your local district council.

When the LDRS offered each of the parties fielding two or more candidates 250 words to try to persuade you to put your cross in their box, this is what they had to say…

CONSERVATIVES

(Contesting all seats)

Our vision for Lancashire is to make it a place everyone can live their best life through stronger communities, a growing economy and high-quality public services.

We have a track record of strong financial management, caring for the vulnerable, protecting the environment and supporting economic growth.

We have worked tirelessly with partners to secure a Combined County Authority devolution deal bringing millions of pounds from Whitehall into Lancashire.

Only Conservatives have a plan going forward, which is why we need your support.

Better lives for all

We want Lancashire to be the best place to raise a family, thrive as an adult and for people to remain independent. Our priorities are to provide every child with the best start

in life, support families through our family hubs and enhance wellbeing and happiness for everyone.

We want people to have healthier lives, reduced health disparities, higher educational achievement, earlier support for families and inclusive services for children with special educational needs.

Prioritising highway funding and transport infrastructure

We are investing more than ever in our roads – fixing potholes, targeting repairs and inspecting roads regularly. We are improving the public transport infrastructure to provide smoother and faster travel, reducing congestion and delays.

Financial security and economic ambition

We maintain robust financial management to guarantee the security and stability of public resources. This approach provides a solid foundation for delivering services and protecting public interests.

We are committed to driving economic growth and prosperity for all. Our focus is on equipping residents with skills for rewarding jobs and attracting business investment.

LABOUR

(Contesting all seats)

Lancashire Labour know that we live in a fantastic county, filled with great people, full of ideas and creativity – packed with people with a great work ethic and brimming with potential.

However, there is no doubt that the county council is not doing its bit to ensure that this potential is realised.

Labour has a plan, though. It is a plan based around five distinct missions that seek to address the challenges we know people face.

A fairer Lancashire

Giving everyone the opportunity to get on in life by investing in growing industries and increasing opportunities.

A cleaner Lancashire

Everyone deserves to live somewhere they are proud of. That’s why we will protect our green spaces and take climate action seriously.

A healthier Lancashire

Good health is vital to a good life. We will roll out family wellbeing centres and increase support to community groups.

A safer Lancashire

We will work to bring back neighbourhood policing, take tough action on crime and anti-social behaviour and halve violence against women and girls.

A better-connected Lancashire

We will fix pothole-ridden roads, reduce disruption from roadworks and work to bring buses back under public control. We will invest in transport for the future, with better trains and more EV charging points.

And for children with special educational needs and disabilities, Labour has a fully-costed plan to bring the waiting list for this service down by 90 percent. Improving services for those most vulnerable families and children will be an absolute focus for an incoming Labour administration.

GREEN PARTY

(Contesting all seats)

Invest in the green economy, reduce carbon emissions

***seize the potential in the green skills sector – the fastest-growing part of the economy – for skilled jobs and training;

***invest to save in clean energy – the county council should invest in renewable energy generation on its land;

***support innovation, digital businesses and electronics manufacturing;

***enable small businesses, tourism and culture to thrive.

Affordable and cosy homes – in the right places

***enable affordable homes schemes on county-owned land and property conversions with high energy efficiency standards.

Supporting local communities and vulnerable people

***focus on the prevention of crime through restoring funding for youth services and community-based policing;

***invest in public health and more accessible, prompt mental health needs assessments for children and adolescents;

***prioritise resilience against flooding.

Green spaces and public realm for people and wildlife

***defend and support nature to recover on county-owned land;

**use county assets to support local food growing and markets.

A transport system for clean air and liveable streets

***fix our roads so they are safe for all road users;

***re-regulate buses so all areas have reliable, integrated services;

***use developer contributions and a percentage of the highways budget to invest in safer cycling and walking – not as an afterthought to road schemes;

***local priorities such as pedestrian crossings.

Keep the local in local government

***Labour’s plans for mega-sized councils will cost millions and should come with more funding for basic services.

***Greens are not against ‘unitary’ councils in principle, but proposals must be carefully thought through, ensure public accountability, keep services locally controlled and have residents’ support.

REFORM UK

(Contesting all seats)

Reform UK Lancashire is about putting the people of Lancashire right at the very forefront of decision making by Lancashire County Council.

We will do this by changing all LCC reports to include an assessment of the impact of any decision on residents.

This same process will be adopted to examine the budget passed by the previous Conservative administration. It will be assessed line by line and, if individual budget items fail to benefit residents, they will be reviewed.

There is real concern the county council will not be able to make the £100m of savings needed to balance the books over the next two years, because they failed to make £50m of savings last year. All spending commitments made by Reform are based on the budget left by the Conservative administration being balanced. We will instruct independent auditors to review the budget as soon as we take control.

Residents have said in many polls that potholes/road repairs are the biggest concern. Reform will stop the £30.8m of cuts in the highways budget in 2026/27 and 2027/28. This will keep the investment at £74.5m to address the £479m of repairs required to bring roads up to acceptable standard.

Reform believe Lancashire residents should decide through a referendum if they want the additional cost of a mayor and if they wish to keep Lancashire’s existing two-tier council system preserving the districts.

Lancashire desperately needs growth. Reform will be pro Lancashire business, encouraging enterprise and delivering much needed prosperity to improve the lives of its residents.

LIBERAL DEMOCRATS

(Contesting 62 out of 84 seats – see complete candidate list below for details)

Lancashire is an incredible place. Our home has world class businesses, a proud cultural heritage, beautiful nature all around us and some of the best people you could ever wish to meet.

What Lancashire doesn’t have is a great county council. Our roads, our school planning, our care system isn’t what it should be. It doesn’t have to be this way. You, your family, your neighbours and your community all deserve better.

The Lib Dems in Lancashire want to improve services for all of us. But there are no quick fixes – any political party that gives you simplistic solutions to complex problems is either fooling themselves, or worse, deliberately lying to you.

Liberal Democrats in Lancashire have put forward millions of pounds more than the ruling Conservatives to fix potholes and improve our roads. For years we have also called for greater funding for youth workers, safer roads and policies to help our natural environment.

Across the country, areas that were once considered safe Conservative seats now have hard working Lib Dem MPs and councillors representing them. Labour’s horrendous start in Government has also meant Labour voters are switching to support the Liberal Democrats in greater numbers than any other party, according to a YouGov poll earlier this month.

Vote Liberal Democrat and you will get a community champion that will never take you for granted. You’ll get someone that will fight for you every week, in your neighbourhood and in the council chamber.

TRADE UNIONIST AND SOCIALIST COALITION

(Contesting the Chorley Central, Chorley North, Clayton with Whittle, Euxton, Buckshaw and Astley, Hoghton with Wheelton, Leyland Central, Leyland South and Preston East divisions only)

The Trades Unionist and Socialist Coalition are the only party with clear ‘no cuts, no privatisation’ policies.

Our policy pledges are:

***to keep hospital services in NHS hospitals, to centralise budgets that will both maintain funds for public facilities and remove private profit margins that strip away our NHS services;

***work with schools to bring SEND services closer to home, repurposing expensive, lengthy and disruptive travel costs to serve our children, not private business. By investing in our children now, we reduce long term costs and maintain happy populations, all contributing to our communities;

***actively develop pathways in social care sectors to benefit local people. Work collaboratively with NHS and local authorities to overcome the 50 percent budget reduction being implemented on our health authority;

***invest in council-owned adult social housing run directly by local authorities and not underperforming housing associations, as part of long-term building and redevelopment plans, ensuring green builds and homes truly affordable to the people of Lancashire;

***work with businesses to transform our local job opportunities away from war to green innovative jobs that benefit whole communities and also beyond;

***bring local services back in house, not for profits. Working with unions to ensure staff get paid for the work they do, starting with social care support officers;

***use first-hand experience to instigate initiatives as a sustainable procurement officer to integrate bold environmental sustainability plans into housing, social care and procurement processes and policies; to be the alternative voice ensuring increased services, fair working conditions and green alternatives above cuts and profit.

OUR WEST LANCASHIRE

(Contesting the Ormskirk, Skelmersdale East, Skelmersdale West and West Lancashire East divisions only)

West Lancashire is on the county’s edge and is neglected by the county council, while the two main parties take it for granted.

Taking two examples: the county council has published its new plan for Lancashire. West Lancashire is not mentioned in the entire document. There are 10 specific economic development projects supported. Most of them are close to Preston and none involve West Lancashire.

West Lancashire regularly tops the league table for the most road defects. This winter, 28 road defects were reported every day in our part of Lancashire and the Conservative highways chief refused to come to discuss matters.

Our West Lancashire’s candidates all have experience of achieving results forresidents on the local district council and will argue for our patch at County Hall.

The plan to build more than 400 houses on the county council land at Glenburn, in Skelmersdale, needs to change to include provision of a community sports village.

Our West Lancashire would re-establish seven-day operation at all household waste and recycling centres and use technology to scrap the requirement to pre-book vans and trailers.

On road repairs, we have a five-point plan, including changing the current system which sees potholes repaired in a strict list/priority order and instead fix all the potholes in a neighbourhood at the same time, reducing travel time and costs. We would also explore the localisation of road repairs. Road repair with local, on-the ground oversight should mean better quality repairs.

ALLIANCE FOR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM

(Contesting the St Annes North and St. Annes South divisions only)

At the Alliance for Democracy and Freedom (ADF) Party, we believe power belongs to you, not the party.

With no party whip system, our candidates answer to their constituents – not a party hierarchy. You decide what matters and how you should be represented.

We champion personal responsibility and minimal state interference – supporting, not controlling. The law must be applied fairly and equally to all, and the state’s role is to create a thriving environment for everyone, not just big business.

ADF stands firmly behind our farmers, industries and services. Public sector partnerships should be cost-effective and, wherever possible, locally delivered. We’ll end the postcode lottery for healthcare, education and essential services.

Our candidates are rooted in the community. Having lived and worked here for many years and worked in both the private and public sectors within the area, they understand the unique needs of local residents and small businesses.

They are committed to upgrading roads and transport, boosting tourism and footfall for local shops and backing our farmers to safeguard food security. They will fight to protect access to GPs, dentists, banks and local policing, and hold water companies accountable for coastal pollution.

ADF will oppose extreme net-zero policies that threaten livelihoods and challenge the disruption caused by Morecambe offshore wind farm developments, whilst endeavouring to maintain the area’s unique heritage.

Your voice. Your choice. Your future – with Alliance for Democracy and Freedom.

Remember: for the first time at a Lancashire County Council election, you will also need to bring with you suitable photo ID if you are voting in person at a polling station – such as a driving licence, passport or a bus pass for older or disabled people.
