Council to consider major report on future of local government tomorrow

North Lincolnshire Council will tomorrow consider a major report on the future structure of local government in Greater Lincolnshire.

The meeting, taking place on Tuesday 25 November, will review the Government’s statutory invitation for proposals on potential changes to how councils across the area are organised.

The report sets out the findings of the council’s largest ever public engagement, in which more than 12,000 residents shared their views on the future of local government, alongside independent financial and service analysis and the proposals being prepared by neighbouring authorities.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is an important moment for North Lincolnshire. The report brings together a huge amount of evidence, including the views of thousands of residents, independent expert analysis and the impact on vital partnerships.

“Councillors will have the opportunity to consider all of that in full when we meet.”

Councillors will determine the council’s response to Government at the meeting. The agenda and reports are available on the Democracy area of the website.
