Lincolnshire: Traffic calming debate & Quarry housing approved

This week in Lincolnshire:

Traffic Calming Sparks Debate: Are New Restrictions a Boost for Safety or a Blow to Residents?

The Planning and Regulation Committee met this week to discuss traffic regulation orders (TROs)[^1] in several Lincolnshire towns, leading to heated debate over proposed speed limit reductions and parking restrictions. The meeting took place on Monday. While some councillors championed the measures as necessary for safety, others voiced concerns about the impact on residents and businesses.

  • B1188 Digby to Ruskington: A proposed speed limit reduction faced opposition, with Councillor Wimhurst arguing that the existing limits were adequate and that alternative measures like cycle lanes would be more effective. Councillor Overton, however, supported the reduction, citing safety concerns and the lack of a footpath. Ultimately, the committee recommended approval to the Executive Councillor for Highways and Transport.
  • Gainsborough, Sandars Road: Proposed waiting restrictions and bus stop clearways on Sandars Road in Gainsborough received support, with councillors noting the benefits for visibility and traffic management in the industrial estate.
  • North Hykeham, Tiber Road: A proposal for waiting restrictions on Tiber Road in North Hykeham sparked the most debate, with Councillor Rowe, the local division member, supporting the restrictions to improve traffic flow and safety. However, Councillor Hill voiced concerns about the loss of on-street parking for residents. The committee ultimately recommended approval to the Executive Councillor for Highways and Transport, but with a modification to explore the possibility of installing lay-bys and reducing the length of the double yellow lines.
  • Skegness, Richmond Drive: Proposed waiting restrictions and mandatory school keep clear markings on Richmond Drive in Skegness received unanimous support, with councillors emphasizing the importance of child safety near The Richmond Primary Academy.

These discussions highlight the complex challenges faced by local government in balancing the needs of different stakeholders and making decisions that impact residents' daily lives.

Housing Development at Cathedral Quarry Approved: Will It Deliver on Affordability and Sustainability?

The Planning and Regulation Committee also approved outline planning permission for a residential development of up to 70 dwellings at Cathedral Quarry in Lincoln, despite concerns about affordable housing, biodiversity, and mineral safeguarding.

  • The application site is allocated for residential development in the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan (2023)[^4].
  • The developer initially offered just six affordable homes, far below the planning policy requirement of 25%.
  • Concerns were raised about the impact on a nearby area safeguarded for Lincoln Stone in the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2016)[^3].

Councillor Lee expressed strong concerns about the lack of affordable housing, stating that the developer's offer was an absolute travesty. Councillor Hill questioned how the development would ensure compliance with policy M11, which protects mineral supply.

Despite these concerns, the committee ultimately voted to approve the application, subject to a Section 106 agreement[^5] and conditions aimed at mitigating the impacts on trees, biodiversity, and mineral resources. The decision highlights the tension between the need for housing and the desire to protect the environment and ensure affordability.

Children's Services Face Transformation: New Homes and Accommodation Aim to Support Vulnerable Youth

The Children's and Culture Scrutiny Committee met to discuss a range of topics related to children's services, including supported accommodation for young people, a new children's home, and roof replacement at a primary school. The meeting took place on Friday.

  • The committee considered proposals for young people's supported accommodation from April 2027, highlighting the council's statutory responsibilities for providing accommodation for vulnerable young people.
  • The committee also considered a report seeking approval for utilising £750,000 in capital funding to develop a two-bed Step Forward Children's Home, offering short-term, therapeutic care to support children who need the care of the local authority.
  • The committee further considered a report setting out the case for replacing the flat roofs at Boston Hawthorn Tree Primary School, which have reached the end of their serviceable life.

These discussions reflect the council's ongoing efforts to improve outcomes for children and young people in Lincolnshire, particularly those who are most vulnerable.

Other Matters Discussed

  • The Executive discussed the Lincolnshire County Council's Section 17 Crime and Disorder Strategy, and reviewed the council's financial performance. The meeting took place on Tuesday.
  • The Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Fire Pension Scheme Board discussed its terms of reference, performance data from the West Yorkshire Pension Fund, and current issues affecting fire pension schemes. The meeting took place on Thursday.
  • The Adult Care and Public Health Scrutiny Committee discussed the Integrated Lifestyle Service, the Adult Social Care Strategy, the Adult Social Care Target Operating Model, and performance reporting. The meeting took place on Wednesday.
  • The Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority - Appointments Panel convened to discuss recruitment to Chief Officer roles. The meeting took place on Wednesday.

Lincolnshire schools face funding shift amid crime strategy talks

This week in Lincolnshire:

Schools Face Funding Shift: Will High Needs Stability Come at the Expense of Mainstream Education?

The Lincolnshire Schools' Forum met on Thursday to discuss a controversial proposal to transfer 0.5% of funding from the schools block to the high needs block for the 2026/27 financial year. The meeting took place on Thursday. This move aims to address the growing financial pressures on services for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), but some fear it could impact the quality of mainstream education.

  • The high needs block is facing a significant deficit, projected to reach £26.414m in 2025/26.
  • The council argues the transfer is necessary to secure better outcomes for SEND pupils by supporting them in mainstream settings.
  • However, only 48% of schools supported the proposal in a recent consultation.

The council's report pack stated:

The council considers the 0.5% Schools block transfer to the High Needs block to be necessary to secure better outcomes for SEND pupils by supporting the majority of children with SEND to fulfil their potential in mainstream settings, which will also deliver more cost-effective solutions.

This decision reflects a growing trend across the country, with many local authorities facing similar financial challenges in providing adequate SEND support. The County Council Network forecasts that by March 2026, national deficits in Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) will reach almost £6 billion due to SEND pressures.

The proposed transfer will fund initiatives such as:

  • SEND workforce development
  • Pupil re-integration capacity and funding to schools
  • Transitional funding
  • Behaviour support
  • Inclusion Quality and Effective team
  • Enhanced resource-based hubs funding

The Schools' Forum also discussed the National Funding Formula for schools and a request to continue including a primary school rents factor within local funding formulas.

Crime and Disorder Strategy Focuses on Prevention: Will It Make Lincolnshire Safer?

The Community Safety Scrutiny Committee convened on Tuesday to discuss Lincolnshire County Council's Section 17 Crime and Disorder Strategy, before it goes to the Executive1 for a decision on 2 December 2025, and then to the County Council for approval on 19 December 2025. The meeting took place on Tuesday. The strategy outlines the council's responsibilities under Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, which requires local authorities to consider the impact of their decisions on crime and disorder.

  • The strategy promotes a whole-organisation approach to crime prevention, community safety, and harm reduction.
  • It aims to strengthen multi-agency collaboration, accountability, and performance monitoring.
  • The strategy sets objectives including ensuring all council services consider the impact of their work on crime and disorder, and promoting proactive measures to prevent crime, anti-social behaviour, and exploitation.

During the meeting, Councillor Smith raised concerns about the strategy for early intervention, particularly regarding support for children at risk of offending. Councillor Robinson requested a timeline for the action plan's completion and suggested separating approaches for urban and rural areas. Councillor Davies called for more specific numbers and costings in the action plan.

The committee also discussed an update on the Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Control Programme and trading standards regarding animal health, welfare, and feed activity.

The committee was scheduled to receive a report from Rebecca Neno, Deputy Director for System Delivery, NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, which invited the Committee to consider the Lincolnshire Integrated Care System Winter Plan for 2025/26.

  • The plan highlights the local assumptions for winter and sets out the planned response to manage the urgent care and patient flow pressures that the system will inevitably experience.
  • The plan is designed to supplement the ongoing improvements and developments in urgent care in line with the National 25/26 Urgent and Emergency Care Plan and is inclusive of those requiring both physical and mental health care.
  • The plan clearly outlines the system risks for winter, mitigations and any residual risks following mitigations.
  • The main areas of risk in the Urgent and Emergency Care pathway are as follows:
    • Patients could wait for an urgent or emergency response in community settings.
    • Patients could experience waits in Emergency Departments and Urgent Treatment Centers (UTC).
    • Patients could wait on ambulances prior to entering Emergency Departments.
    • Patients may experience waits for discharge home or into community settings.
    • Some service fragility continues along the East Coast and Boston area, specifically in relation to Children and Young People and some Mental Health services.
    • Impact of Industrial Action on urgent and emergency care pathways, planned care provision and patient experience.
    • Workforce levels due to national NHS and local organisational changes

High Needs System - SEND and Alternative Provision

The committee was scheduled to receive a report providing an overview of the current High Needs System and Alternative Provision (AP) landscape within Lincolnshire.

  • The report pack stated that the Children and Families Act 2014 created a reformed SEND system in 2014, and that the legislation aimed to improve how children and young people with SEND are supported across education, health and social care.
  • The report pack also noted that demand for SEND services in Lincolnshire continues to rise, mirroring national trends. EHC Needs Assessment requests have increased from 1,258 in 2022 to 1,957 in 2024, with 1,418 already received in 2025.

Upcoming Meetings

Lincolnshire Quarry Approved; Skills Fund Boost; Rights of Way

This week in Lincolnshire:

Quarry Approved Despite Resident Concerns: Did Process Prioritize Policy Over People?

The Planning and Regulation Committee approved a planning application by Welton Aggregates Ltd for a sand and gravel quarry near Caistor, despite strong objections from local residents. The committee met on Monday to discuss the application.

The decision has sparked debate about the balance between economic development and the well-being of communities, with some questioning whether the planning process adequately considers the impact on residents' health and quality of life.

Key concerns raised by residents included:

  • Increased HGV traffic: Residents fear that the quarry will lead to a significant increase in heavy truck traffic on local roads, posing safety risks and causing damage to infrastructure.
  • Noise and dust pollution: The quarry's operations are expected to generate noise and dust, impacting the health and amenity of nearby homes.
  • Lack of verified testing: Concerns were raised about whether there was sufficient evidence that the sand samples came from the proposed quarry site.

Despite these concerns, the committee ultimately voted to approve the application, citing the site's allocation in the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan and the need for the mineral.

Councillor Overton said:

Just because this area was previously allocated it doesn't mean it's still the whole of it is still appropriate and just because it was allocated doesn't mean you can actually develop the whole of it because there are differences changes that have occurred as we've said you've got to still allow for the damage and the impact on those neighbouring properties.

The decision highlights the challenges faced by planning authorities in balancing competing interests and ensuring that development benefits the wider community without disproportionately burdening vulnerable groups.

Adult Skills Fund: New Priorities Aim to Boost Local Economy and Support Vulnerable Learners

The Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority Audit Committee discussed the devolution of the Adult Skills Fund (ASF), a key source of funding for adult education and training. The committee met on Wednesday to discuss the fund.

The ASF is used to provide adults aged 19 and over with skills to help them find employment, progress in their jobs, or pursue further learning.

The GLCCA's proposed ASF priorities include:

  • A programme of high-quality provision for Greater Lincolnshire adults that is accessible, aligned to local business need, well-promoted, and achieves good value for money by removing unnecessary duplication.
  • Providing adults with the confidence and support to participate in learning and progress to higher levels.
  • Funding qualifications that are business-led and contribute to the long-term prosperity of Greater Lincolnshire, creating a locally skilled workforce.
  • Increasing the capacity of the local provider base, so that Greater Lincolnshire's training infrastructure can be flexible and responsive to future local needs.

The report also outlines some draft policy changes in year 1, including:

  • Creating a new support fund to help care leavers access learning, providing up to £1,500 to help with learning costs.
  • Funding Greater Lincolnshire residents only, not employees who work but do not live in Greater Lincolnshire.
  • Funding providers to support unemployed residents to obtain their first Green CSCS card1.

The committee also discussed the importance of ensuring that training opportunities are accessible to all residents, including those with learning difficulties or disabilities.

Rights of Way: Sub-Committee Prioritizes Public Benefit in Path Decisions

The Definitive Map and Statement of Public Rights of Way Sub-Committee discussed a revision to the Definitive Map Modification Order (DMMO) Prioritisation Policy. The sub-committee met on Monday to discuss the policy.

The DMMO Prioritisation Policy sets out how the council decides which DMMO applications to investigate first.

The sub-committee was scheduled to review and comment on the proposed revision to this policy, with the aim of prioritizing applications that offer the greatest potential public benefit and reduce property blight.

The revised policy is intended to create a clearer, more consistent, and objective process for prioritizing DMMO applications, taking into account factors such as public safety and impact on residential property.

Other Matters Discussed

  • The Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority Audit Committee discussed internal audit progress, reviewed the authority's constitution, and considered its work programme. The committee met on Wednesday.
