Wyre Council,

[1]Wyre Council
Thank you for your request.

I am writing to advise you that, following a search of our paper and
electronic records, I have established that the information you
requested is not held by this Council.

The Council transferred all its houses to Wyre Housing Association,
which is a separate organisation independent of the Council.

Wyre Housing Association is now part of the Regenda Group. If you have
any questions about housing or tenancy matters you can contact the
Housing Association using the link below:

Three councils and six housing organisations have joined together to
create a simpler application system.  Previously separate applications
had to be made to each organisation, but now those seeking a new home in
the area will have to fill in just one application form to register
their interest, it replaces all the organisations' existing housing
application systems in the Fylde coast area.

For further information see the website:
