There is a (privately rented/owned) block of flats in Huncoat village named Honeysuckle court but that doesn't have steps to the front door.
Of the Hyndburn Homes flats only this one shows such steps

Since other flats in the block use them too it is reasonable to expect that other users may well have already made them safer to use.
