Sad news to bring you this evening Lincolnshire
Local elections are due to take place across Lincolnshire on May 4 and will see all the district councils along with North and North East Lincolnshire holding a vote.The district council is currently made up of 36 Conservative councillors, alongside three AllianceSK members, four Democratic Independents, three Independents, four unaligned Independents, two Labour and Co-operative and three Liberal Democrats.
South Kesteven has developed a culture of secrecy, where debate takes place behind closed doors within workshops, briefings and private sessions. Most Independents would agree that most council decisions should be made in public. We will make the council more open to scrutiny by reversing the recent Conservative decisions to restrict public questions.
There is so much in South Kesteven that we value, and with a team of determined elected Conservatives who have the vision and team work, we can continue to deliver.During the last 4 years, the Tory-led administration has delivered a catalogue of broken promises and failed policies, too many to list here: the leisure centres shambles – Council owned companies created and disbanded at huge cost – The housing in special measures.
We know you are concerned about town centres, traffic congestion, air quality, loss of sports facilities, such as swimming pools and green spaces, and inadequate medical facilities. We have a serious lack of affordable housing. Our area is well-linked to the rest of the country and we could be a centre of excellence for green industry, but we are likely to be marginalised by plans for the East Midlands Freeport.
