Decision details

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

That Cabinet:

a)    Approves the proposal for Local Government Re-organisation (Appendix A) for submission to Government.

b)    Delegates authority 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 28^th 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.
