Receive Any Questions under Council Procedure Rule 11 from Members of the Public and Provide Answers thereon None received 31. Receive Any Questions under Council Procedure Rule 12 from Members and Provide Answers thereon Question 1 Question from Councillor Strengiel Do we as a council in England believe that devolution should also apply to the existing cities and counties as they already exist and have been proved to 5 have the capacity and ability to deliver more services, and do we agree that any devolved power should be accompanied by a corresponding reduction in central taxation so that there is no additional financial burden on the public?. Answered by Councillor Metcalfe, Leader of the Council This is a highly topical question on a subject which this Council will no doubt have to debate in the future. The DCLG Select Committee reported on this a short while ago and they concluded that fiscal devolution in England is certainly something that needs to be considered. Scotland and Wales both receive significant fiscal devolution and there is a need for England to keep abreast of this and there is a need for a debate on it. However it is not something we should rush into and consultation needs to take place with all interested parties, including the DCLG. There is a need to agree what taxes can be devolved and how they would be controlled possibly by a group of authorities rather than an individual. Whatever happens the functional area must display competence and the capability to manage such a system. Any powers and responsibilities to be devolved should be by agreement not imposition. Whilst authorities might agree with the arrangements there will be a need to ensure any taxes collected are distributed equally. The downside for poor authorities like Lincoln is that with a narrow tax base we would want some redistribution. National expenditure levels are a matter for all governments and tend to be led by national policy. The lending cap on the Housing Revenue Account is an example of a policy which hinders local authorities. This authority has a creditable programme of house building but we could do more if borrowing within the HRA was not capped. This is an important subject and I would welcome a further debate on it in the future. Supplementary Question from Councillor Strengiel I am delighted to a certain extent with the Leaders reply, but I don’t necessarily agree with his comments on borrowing. I am delighted with the result in Scotland and ask whether you agree that on behalf of the Council that you should be promoting English votes for English laws with the Leader of your party?. Answered by Councillor Metcalfe No, I don’t believe for all sorts of reasons, or agree that we should disbar Scottish MP’s from voting in Parliament. 32. Portfolio Holder for Corporate Management and Customer Services The Portfolio Holder for Corporate Management and Customer Services: a. Presented his report highlighting key elements as follows:- • Financial savings • Revenues and Benefits Shared Service • Customer Services 6 • Complaints • Website Development • Local Authority Mortgage Scheme (LAMS) • Procurement • Property including asset management, maintenance of strategic assets and protection of heritage assets • Business Development and Information Technology including the Five District IT Partnership • Emergency Planning • Risk Management • Human Resources • Work Based Learning –Apprenticeships • Audit Arrangements • Equality and Diversity • Annual Report • Key Performance Issues • Housing Benefits • Customer Services • Procurement • Revenues Collection • Performance in delivering Strategic Plan Projects • Corporate Measures – Sickness Indicators – Q1 2014/15 • Communications • Future Challenges and Targets b.

The magnificent city of Lincoln is embedded within our beautiful landscape and is surrounded by a network of picturesque towns and villages: these places, along with the social and economic opportunities in the area, make Central Lincolnshire a fantastic place to live, work and visit. But there is so much potential to make Central Lincolnshire an even better place. An even better place to live, with quality homes people can afford, easier access to shops, services and facilities, and new thriving communities, which are welcoming and safe. An even better place to work, where new facilities and infrastructure mean that businesses choose to expand or relocate here, bringing jobs and stimulating investment. An even better place to visit, a place where people choose to come to enjoy our nature, our history, our shops, our eateries and attractions, while at the same time significantly contributing to our rural and urban economies. A new Local Plan for Central Lincolnshire can do this. This is the adopted Local Plan for Central Lincolnshire. It was prepared with the benefit of your very helpful comments we received at various draft stages. Inside this adopted Local Plan are policies for the growth and regeneration of Central Lincolnshire over the next 20 years and beyond, including sites allocated for development and other areas designated for protection. The policies within the Local Plan will make sure that our settlements grow in the right way, ensure we have homes and employment where we need them, and ensure our new communities are sustainable, accessible and inclusive.

    MIDLANDS ENGINE LEP PROFILES Greater Lincolnshire LEP October 2019 GREATER LINCOLNSHIRE LEP Introduction This document profiles the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) area, providing insight and data across key areas of the economy, namely through the five foundations of productivity outlined in the government’s industrial strategy: Ideas, People, Infrastructure, Business Environment and Places. Benchmarking is provided in the context of the Midlands Engine, allowing comparison between the Black Country and other LEP areas within the pan-region. Greater Lincolnshire Greater Lincolnshire is in the east of the Midlands Engine. It is the largest Midlands Engine LEP area in terms of hectares, covering 718,201 hectares. The area stretches from the Humber in the North to the Wash National Nature Reserve in the South, the medieval City of Lincoln in the West and coastal resorts in the East. The area has a population of just over one million, making it the fifth biggest LEP in the Midlands Engine in terms of population. Greater Lincolnshire has a polycentric urban structure with a small number of large towns, approximately thirty market towns and coastal resorts, and a fairly even distribution of villages across the area. The largest urban areas are Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Grantham, and Boston. Greater Lincolnshire has a vision to use future technologies to leverage its nationally important assets around food, energy and global connectivity alongside its abundant natural capital to realise its potential, raise the earning power of residents and shape an innovative and thriving business environment. The LEP has identified six priority sectors: Manufacturing, Agri-food, Visitor economy, Low Carbon, Health & Care, and Ports and Logistics.

  • Making the Case for Sustainable Transport – Project Potential
    Making the case for Sustainable Transport – Project Potential The Structural Investment Fund (SIF) Strategy for Greater Lincolnshire identifies the barriers to growth identified by having poor transport infrastructure within the area. These limitations in our network result in the poor commuter accessibility, limitations for growth in the visitor economy, need to reduce carbon emissions and deliver wider social and economic benefits for the community. It is a priority to encourage and facilitate the use sustainable travel options. This will include:- Unlocking access to development sites improving congestion and unlocking existing bottlenecks improving availability of information; simplifying ticketing; making connections between different steps in the journey, making different modes of transport, easier; and providing better interchange facilities. The benefits of achieving this will be felt in many different areas: protecting the environment – by increasing use of sustainable transport, we can help cut carbon emissions and improve air quality, making a significant contribution to meeting our demanding carbon reduction targets; boosting economic growth – by improving connectivity and interchange and cutting congestion, we can help to link our businesses and markets. Fast and reliable journeys support business; supporting society – by providing a well-connected and accessible transport system that is safe and secure, we can help improve public health and the quality of life; and delivering a good deal for the traveller – by integrating the door-to-door journey as a whole, we can help make travel more reliable and affordable. In developing the SIF we have engaged with a wide range of stakeholders and have identified emerging schemes that have the potential to come forward for support from European Funds.
