In recent years Fylde Council has seen an increase in the number of applications relating to the provision of care for young people in residential properties across the borough. The way that these are handled in general has been the subject of a Scrutiny Committee review, with one of the outcomes from that review being this page to pull together documentation on the subject to assist residents, councillors, and other interested parties.
