It's facing an onslaught of demand
A former Lincoln MP has called for Citizens Advice Lincolnshire to be given extra funding following a drastic increase in demand.
Demand across the county has increased dramatically due to the impacts of high inflation, the increase in energy costs and static benefit levels. Former MP and Lincolnshire County Councillor Karen Lee said more needs to be done to ensure people in need can reach the relevant help."As a society, we have failed quite a lot of people," she said during a Public Protection and Communities Scrutiny Committee meeting on Tuesday.
The Labour County Councillor added that the City of Lincoln Council Benefit's Advice programme has also faced unprecedented demand in recent months, leading to an average six-week wait.
