Purpose

To consider approving the Partnership’s
proposal to Government for Local Government Reorganisation in
Greater Lincolnshire.

Decision

Resolved
 
1.    
That the proposal for Local Government Re-organisation, in
Appendix A, for submission to Government be approved; and
 
2.    
That authority be delegated to the Assistant Director –
Corporate, in consultation with the Leader of the Council, to make
any changes/additions that might be required between the Cabinet
meeting and submission to Government; and to submit the
proposal.

Reasons for the decision

To enable the Council to submit its proposal
for Local Government Re-organisation by the 28th November 2025
deadline.

Alternative options considered

·      
Not to submit a proposal - this was discounted as the Council has a
clear vision for Local Government Re-organisation that it wishes to
submit by the deadline.
·      
To consider an alternative proposal – the Greater
Lincolnshire for All proposal is considered to provide the best
opportunity for Greater Lincolnshire. Other options set out in
Appendix A are not considered to deliver the same
opportunities.
