Decision details

To consider approving the Partnership’s proposal to Government for Local Government Reorganisation in Greater Lincolnshire.

Resolved

1.     That the proposal for Local Government Re-organisation, in Appendix A, for submission to Government be approved; and

2.     That authority be delegated to the Assistant Director – Corporate, in consultation with the Leader of the Council, to make any changes/additions that might be required between the Cabinet meeting and submission to Government; and to submit the proposal.

To enable the Council to submit its proposal for Local Government Re-organisation by the 28th November 2025 deadline.

·       Not to submit a proposal - this was discounted as the Council has a clear vision for Local Government Re-organisation that it wishes to submit by the deadline.

·       To consider an alternative proposal – the Greater Lincolnshire for All proposal is considered to provide the best opportunity for Greater Lincolnshire. Other options set out in Appendix A are not considered to deliver the same opportunities.
