Have your say on the future of local government in Lincolnshire!

Last year, the Government announced plans to replace 'two-tier' councils in England such as:

  • borough
  • city
  • county
  • district

with new unitary councils.

After receiving feedback from the Government about our initial proposals submitted in March, we’re developing the details of our proposal to show what it would mean for residents, communities and businesses in Lincolnshire.

We believe the best option for Lincolnshire is to create one council covering the current county council area.

A new authority would combine the structural and support services of Lincolnshire County Council with the local skills and experience from the seven districts.

Using the current county boundary avoids disruption to our outstanding-rated Children’s services, our good-rated Adults services, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue and other vital support services.

A single council would also deliver better value for taxpayers by strengthening our financial position, supporting economic growth, and reducing duplication.
