Made up of Boston Borough Council, East Lindsey District Council and South Holland District Council, the partnership has submitted the full business case for its ambitious plan for local government reform in Greater Lincolnshire - ‘A Greater Lincolnshire for All’.

The proposal will see the creation of northern and southern unitary councils covering the entirety of Greater Lincolnshire that would replace the existing outdated, bureaucratic and confusing local government system of the existing 10 councils:

■Northern Lincolnshire - covering Lincoln, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, and West Lindsey with a population of 525,700.
