Next steps
Delivering on our Proposal would involve the completion of a number of steps. Some of these will be managed from Greater Lincolnshire, others will require action from Government and Parliament.
We will consult on the Proposals from December 2023 to 29 January 2024.
Consideration of consultation responses and review of the Proposal to be completed by end of February 2024.
Further formal decision making in the light of the consultation and if the final Proposal is approved, submission to Government in spring 2024.
Consideration and approval by Government leading to the laying of an Establishment Order in summer 2024.
Transition to a formal CCA would follow three stages:
- Stage 1: Establishing transitional arrangements, including those for transport functions which are expected to take no
- more than 18 months - by summer 2024
- Stage 2: Formal establishment of the CCA – late 2024
- Stage 3: Election of a Greater Lincolnshire Mayor – May 2025
It is important to note that transition to the CCA is dependent on a number of factors including this Proposal being approved and submitted to the Government following public consultation and the final Proposal then being accepted by Government.
