We want to hear your views on our draft Housing Strategy

West Lancashire Borough Council is inviting residents, tenants, businesses, and organisations to share their views on its draft Housing Strategy for 2024-2029.

The Strategy sets out the Council's priorities and actions to meet the current and future housing needs and challenges in the Borough.

Housing plays a vital role in both people’s lives and our local economy. The right home environment is critical to our health and wellbeing; good housing helps people stay healthy and provides a base from which to sustain a job, contribute to the community, and achieve a decent quality of life.


Our draft Housing Strategy highlights partnership working, our past and present challenges, the impact of legislation and our future aspirations for the next five years. The primary objective is to improvement the housing offer and housing circumstances of residents. The document provides an overview of our journey to date, highlights achievements, and outlines our future areas of focus.

For more information you can read the draft Housing Strategy and the draft Housing Strategy Action plan in the 'Documents' section.
