Timeline
5 February 2025
The invitation letter sent to councils in Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire set out their milestones for reorganisation.
They were invited to submit final proposals for unitary local government by 28 November 2025.
5 February 2026
A written ministerial statement was made to Parliament. This set out that a statutory consultation on the proposals received for local government reorganisation in Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire was launched.
On the same day, the Minister of State for Local Government and Homelessness, Alison McGovern MP, wrote to the leaders of councils in Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire to thank them for their proposals and to inform them of the consultation.
West Lindsey District Council did not submit a proposal for unitary local government and so the letter is not addressed to their leader.
