Value for Money and Lower Taxes
Treat every pound of public money as if it were your own.
Every pound the council spends is your money, and you should keep more of it. Reform’s pitch is simple: value for money, an end to waste, and the lowest tax rises we can responsibly deliver.
On the county, where Reform is in charge
Lancashire County Council has been Reform-run since May 2025. Its 2026/27 budget held the council tax rise to 3.8 per cent, the lowest increase in twelve years, after two successive years of 4.99 per cent under the previous administration.
That is the difference control makes: when Reform sets the budget, keeping the rise down is a choice we actually take.
On the borough, where we hold others to account
On West Lancashire Borough Council our seven councillors sit in opposition as the fourth-largest group. We use that to scrutinise spending, contracts and value for money, and to ask the questions that get glossed over before decisions are taken.
Our commitments
- Keep council tax rises as low as responsibly possible where Reform sets the budget.
- Scrutinise every major contract and spending decision on the borough.
- Demand plain, public answers on how local money is spent.
