The Commission’s recommendations propose the authority should have 70 county councillors, seven fewer than the current arrangements, representing single-member divisions.

An eight-week public consultation will end on February 8. It is open to anyone who wants to have their say on new electoral divisions, boundaries and names across Lincolnshire.
