LOCAL GOVERNMENT REORGANISATION - UPDATE FROM WLDC


FAQs
1. Has Local Government Reorganisation in Greater Lincolnshire been cancelled?

No. The Government has said it is pausing and reviewing the decisions made in July 2026. WLDC has not received confirmation that the proposals have been cancelled. Nor can WLDC confirm what the review will decide, how long it will take, or what any revised process will look like.


2. What does this mean for town and parish councils now?

There is no change to the role of town and parish councils.


3. Will the district elections still happen in 2027?

Yes. The current position is that elections planned for May 2027 will go ahead on existing council boundaries. This means district elections are now planned, rather than elections for new shadow unitary authorities.


4. When will more information be available?

We do not yet know. WLDC has very limited information at this stage but will share regular updates as soon as the Government provides more detail on the timetable and process.


5. What does this mean for existing Council services

There is no immediate change to council services. WLDC will continue to deliver services as normal while the Government review takes place. If this changes, we will update town and parish councils as soon as we can.

Grants of up to £5,000 are still available to residents across West Lindsey to protect their homes against future flooding.

Lincolnshire County Council’s Property Flood Resilience grant is available for homes that have recently been affected by flooding and helps pay for practical measures such as flood doors, air brick covers, sump pumps and non-return valves.

Once an application is approved, £2,500 is paid up front to get works started, with the remaining amount (up to an additional £2,500) paid after the work is completed and inspected.

When the grant opened in March 2025, it was only for properties that had been affected by flooding in January 2025. Eligibility has since been widened, meaning residents whose homes have flooded at other times may also be able to apply.

To apply or check eligibility, contact Lincolnshire County Council’s Flood and Waste Management Team on 01522 550500 or email [email protected]
