Last chance to have your say on Lincolnshire boundary changes

The public consultation closes on Monday, February 8.

The Commission’s draft recommendations propose that Lincolnshire County Council should have 70 county councillors in the future, seven fewer than the current arrangements.

The proposals mean those councillors would represent 70 single-member electoral divisions across the county.

Professor Colin Mellors, Chair of the Commission, said: “We are keen to hear local views about our boundary proposals before we finalise them in April.

“We want to make sure division boundaries across Lincolnshire reflect the identities and interests of local communities as well as delivering electoral fairness for voters.

“This is your last chance to have your say before we finalise the recommendations.”

The Commission wants to hear as much evidence as possible in order to develop final recommendations for Lincolnshire. If you would like to make a submission to the Commission, or email [email protected] by February 8.
