WHERE NOW FOR DEVOLUTION IN GREATER LINCOLNSHIRE?
It looks like the attempt to devolve more power to the Greater Lincolnshire area from the Humber to the Wash is now dead in the water, following the decision of the Lincolnshire County Council and the South Kesteven District Council to reject the offer from HM Government in the second week of October. Although very much devolution 'lite', the offer from the government would appear to be all that there is available to rural areas at the moment. It was a start, no more and no less; but it could have opened the door for much, much more. The offer was for £15 million per annum until at least 2020, paid to the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP) comprising all first and second tier councils from the Humber to the Wash, together with local business partners. Included in the package was more control over highways matters and the opportunity for increased borrowing. It was hardly a fortune; but there could have been more to come in future.

(Find out what these elections and different committees are all about here.) No surprise that my main motivation for running for the Federal Board is my interest in getting the party's strategy right: a core votes approach, delivered through Targeting Plus.
