Cost-cutting task force to look into council spending

|June 11, 2025
A COST-cutting 'Doge' council unit will be going into Lincolnshire County Council, Reform UK has confirmed.

Reform says Lincolnshire will come under scrutiny from the taskforce, which is made up of software engineers, data analysts and forensic auditors, and will reportedly be led by an unnamed tech entrepreneur.
