If councils here received the average funding for council areas in England, the region would benefit from £120 million extra funding for services, every year.
This could help pay for new infrastructure and valued council services.
Examples of projects that could potentially be paid for by fairer funding include:
- repairing and rebuilding our most rural, smaller roads so they are more able to cope with modern traffic, such as HGVs and farm vehicles
- funding 100 flood prevention schemes, protecting up to 5,600 more homes
- building on the good progress in extending access to high-speed broadband, using recent innovations to get signals to remote places
Councils in Lincolnshire have seen huge cuts to their Government funding and the cost of providing services is increasing. Council leaders are setting out a strong case for a fair deal for Lincolnshire to local MPs and government ministers.
What can I do?
You can help Lincolnshire councils get more money for your local services, by contacting your MP to tell them you support the campaign.
