East Lindsey District Council To Receive More Government Money!

It has been announced today that East Lindsey District Council is to receive nearly half a million pounds more money from central government for budget year 2016/2017 than had previously been the case. This is great news and will go a long way to covering the deficit being experienced at the council.

The County Council will receive an addition £5.1 million of funding.

This is as a result of rural MPs from around the country meeting with the Chancellor to thrash out a new deal for rural counties.

I don't know exactly what this will mean but I hope that it will result in less service cuts than those already planned by both councils. Fingers crossed!
