VOTERS across Greater Lincolnshire are just weeks away from electing the area’s first-ever mayor.
In September 2024, central government signed off on the devolution deal for Greater Lincolnshire, approving the creation of the Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority (GLCCA)
The new body brings together leaders from Lincolnshire County Council, North Lincolnshire Council and North East Lincolnshire Council, and held its first meeting at the start of March.
