Roads are the issue residents raise most, and West Lancashire’s roads are the responsibility of Lancashire County Council, which Reform UK has run since May 2025.

Under the Reform administration, the county’s outstanding road-defect queue has fallen from 61,063 in September 2024 to 35,514 in September 2025, a 42 per cent reduction, backed by a record highways budget.

West Lancashire’s four Reform county councillors are pressing for that work to reach every part of the borough, from Skelmersdale and Up Holland to Ormskirk, Burscough and the rural villages.
