What does this mean for Lincolnshire?

Lincolnshire currently has seven district and borough councils, and one county council. This two-tier structure can lead to confusion for residents, duplication of services, and inefficiencies. There are also already two unitary councils in North and North East Lincolnshire.

As part of the Government's plans, all 10 councils across Greater Lincolnshire have been asked to explore and submit proposals for how local government could be restructured. This may include the creation of a number of new unitary councils to replace the existing two-tier arrangements, with the goal of delivering simpler, more effective local services.
