Councillors question whether public money is being spent well
Councillors in East Lindsey have called an emergency meeting over the future of the authority’s arms-length company Invest East Lindsey.
Last week, three new directors for the company were put forward, and those calling in the decision say there has been little explanation behind it.

“There was no Auditor’s report to the last Audit Committee as had been promised, it was still in draft apparently.“Then on Friday we learn, out of the blue, three new Directors have been put forward. There is no explanation of why and nothing to explain what skills they bring to the Invest East Lindsey Board. We find the timing – we are in election purdah right now – very strange.
