MAINTENANCE COSTS AND FUTURE PLANS ON THE AGENDA
LINCOLNSHIRE’S economy boss says the county council is considering what to do with its 54 vacant buildings. Some have been “dilapidated for many years”, Lincolnshire County Council's first Growth Scrutiny Committee was told.
The new Reform administration has promised to cut waste within the authority, and is looking at whether unused properties could be sold or brought back into use.
The council owns a total of 1,062 properties, including schools, farms and children’s centres, which cost £17.6m to run per year.
Repairs and maintenance costing £2.4m is planned for the current financial year.
