Devolution in Greater Lincolnshire

You will probably have read in the news that Lincolnshire County Council have signed with the greater Lincolnshire County Councils to take forward devolution for Lincolnshire. This in the first instance would bring an extra 24 million for 30 years which will be part of the mayoral investment fund. This would bring the total funding to 720 million for the county. There would be a one-off capital investment of 28.4 million and a 1 million skills fund. This is just the beginning and this should open up the opportunity to bid for extra funding in all areas.

I encourage you all to take the time to fill in the consultation at www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/devolution 

Also there will be events held for you to go along and talk to officers and read how this can really benefit our local communities by allowing decisions to be made in Lincolnshire.
