Early Beginnings

Why Kirkham Baths Matters

Kirkham Swimming Baths has been a cornerstone of our community for generations — a place where children learned to swim, families came together, and local clubs thrived. Its closure has left a significant gap in local facilities, especially for the residents of Kirkham, Wesham, and the surrounding rural villages.

Built in 1914 by William Segar Hodgson

Key Facts

Fylde Borough Council has over £5 million in usable reserves.

The latest Audit Report shows Fylde is debt-free and financially stable.

The full refurbishment cost of Kirkham Baths is estimated
at £3 million.

This investment is achievable without jeopardising council finances.

Reform Fylde

Our Position

Reform UK Fylde is calling on the Conservative-led Fylde Borough Council to use a portion of its reserves to restore Kirkham Baths now — before local government reorganisation risks diverting Fylde residents' money into larger unitary authorities.

We believe that investing in Kirkham Baths is not just financially viable — it's a moral obligation to residents who have seen their community continually overlooked in favour of the coastal towns.

a fairer fylde for all
