Lincolnshire's ten councils have received feedback from the government on initial proposals for Local Government Reorganisation, to help plan for the next stage.
Earlier this year, the Government made clear its intention to change all remaining two-tier local authority areas in England, and replace county and district councils with new unitary authorities.
All council leaders in two-tier areas, and smaller neighbouring unitary authorities, were invited to develop initial unitary proposals, which were submitted in March.
The Government has now issued feedback to Lincolnshire's ten councils on their initial proposals, to support areas to further develop their proposals into a business case for submission in November 2025.

Cllr Rob Gibson, deputy leader of Lincolnshire County Council and executive councillor for Local Government Reorganisation, said:
“We’ve just received our feedback on the options the council submitted for Local Government Reorganisation and we’re going through the Government’s comments.
“We’ll then reach out to other councils in Lincolnshire and look to build business cases that continue to provide strong council services, are simpler for residents and businesses, and ultimately save council taxpayers’ money.”
