Lincolnshire council leaders still can't agree on how to proceed with devolution
Lincolnshire is at “increasing risk that we will lose out” over devolution, councillors have warned as they moved forward with draft proposals for a bid, including an elected mayor for the county.
The draft bid was close to being acceptable to the three upper tier authorities, and most districts, said Councillor Hill. “Ultimately, this is actually one of the most important decisions that we will take on the future of our county. It comes back and it will set the direction for greater Lincolnshire as a place for many years to come.”
“Does anyone really believe that to improve education and transport links, we have to create yet another tier of local government?” he said.Meanwhile, Councillor Sarah Parkin said the devil was in the detail, and said it felt like communities were being “steamrolled” by the decision.
