Living in Cleveleys and Thornton

Getting around

Cleveleys has a bus station. Blackpool Transport's route 8 runs to Blackpool town centre, route 7 goes through Blackpool to Lytham, route 14 links Thornton with Fleetwood and Blackpool, and route 1 runs along the coast from Fleetwood to St Annes. The tram runs the length of the seafront too, and Poulton-le-Fylde station, also in Wyre, has step free access to all platforms.

Schools

School places here are handled by Lancashire County Council, not Wyre. Applications for secondary school usually close on 31 October and for primary school on 15 January, and if you move mid year you can apply for an in year place. A rental agreement can be used as proof of your new address. You can read any school's Ofsted report and compare schools on GOV.UK.

Doctors and dentists

Registering with a GP is free, and you don't need ID or proof of address. Use the NHS to find a GP or find a dentist near your new home.

Council tax and bins

Wyre Council collects council tax. Thornton-Cleveleys has no parish council, so it pays Wyre's standard rate: for 2026/27, £1,619.28 a year for a Band A home, before any discount. You can check any home's band on GOV.UK. Wyre's bins are grey for general waste, red for mixed recycling, blue for paper and card, and green for garden waste, plus a food caddy.

Parks and the seafront

Jubilee Gardens is Cleveleys' seafront park, with a skate park, games court and children's play area. Pheasants Wood is a small, quiet woodland with footpaths and a pond, and Hawthorne Park has play areas for young children and teenagers, a wetland area and a sports court.

Questions people ask

How can I rent one of your homes in Cleveleys or Thornton?

Join our waiting list and choose Cleveleys and Thornton. When one of our homes there becomes available, we'll email you with the details and how to arrange a viewing. We use the same published checklist for everyone, including household income of at least 3 times the monthly rent from all sources, benefits included.

Do you welcome children, people on benefits and pets?

We never refuse anyone because they have children or receive benefits, and since 1 May 2026 that is also the law for landlords in England. Pets are considered case by case.

How much is the deposit, and is it protected?

By law, a tenancy deposit is capped at five weeks' rent where the yearly rent is under £50,000. We protect deposits with the Deposit Protection Service within 30 days, as the law requires.

How long is the tenancy?

Since 1 May 2026 every private tenancy in England rolls on with no end date. If you decide to move on, you give two months' notice in writing.

Do I need a guarantor?

Only if you need one to meet our income check. A guarantor should earn at least 2.5 times the rent and have a good credit record. They don't need to own their home.
