UK’s food security. In the cases of horticulture and cereals, Lincolnshire is the largest single county producer in England. Greater Lincolnshire is responsible for growing one eighth of the nation’s food. Farming, manufacturing and food processing are worth an estimated £18.7 billion to the national economy, and much of the food processed within the area is found in kitchen cupboards across the UK. Boston’s population increased by 15.9 per cent between 2001 and the 2011 census. This is more than 50 per cent higher than the county rate of growth and twice that of the national rate. Boston experienced the largest increases in its population in the age bands representing people in their 20s.

Its transformation board has worked hard at doing more with less and, despite £2.4 million savings made since 2009 no frontline services have been affected and there has not been a need for compulsory redundancies. All staff have been major players in finding a way forward. In a low-wage economy and in recognition of the pressures on household finances, council tax has, for the most part, been frozen. The council has formed successful working partnership arrangements, both with neighbouring councils and other partners. These arrangements have allowed for significant investment in CCTV services and the development of an operational hub for surrounding districts and towns being led from Boston and significant investment into heritage support for the retail sector in the town centre. The South East Lincolnshire Joint Strategic Planning Committee adopted the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan 2011-2036 on 8th March 2019. You can see the Local Plan itself as well as various supporting documents at http://www.southeastlincslocalplan.org/ adopted-plan/ Major developments on the cards, and at an advanced stage, include provision of a major new residential area on the outskirts of Boston, together with commercial development and a new stadium for Boston Utd football club plus the provision of the start of a new route to ease traffic congestion. Plans are also at an advanced stage for a £93 million flood prevention barrier for the town. This is due for completion at the end of 2019 and will give Boston the best tidal flood protection outside of London. The council has an advanced carbon reduction programme which includes use of solar panels and plans for biomass boilers. We have to focus on creating the conditions for sustainable economic and demographic growth in the Borough along with investment opportunities, strategic partnership working and generating external funding.

  • Boston Borough Council Council Size Submission
    Boston Borough Council Council Size Submission Local Government Boundary Commission for England Submitted October 2011 0 Executive Summary We have based this submission on the principle of creating a Council Size which functions effectively. We have considered the factors that influence council size, as set out by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE): • The decision making process • Quasi-judicial processes – e.g. planning and licensing – what is the workload and how is it managed • The scrutiny process – what is scrutinised and how is the total scrutiny workload managed • The representative role of the elected member Since the last review in October 1996 the Council moved to a Leader/Cabinet model thus reducing the level of involvement necessary for decision making and leading to a suggestion that we could once again sustain a reduction in the number of councillors. We have also reviewed the supporting committee structures in order to strengthen the scrutiny role. Although official statistics suggest that our population is approximately 61,000 we believe that this figure could be at least 10,000 higher. With this in mind we believe that our current electorate of 47,293 which is an average ration of 1:1478 per councillor could be in the region of 2,500 higher. We have taken into consideration the criteria used to determine the number of councillors and in particular: • Growth since the last boundary review and forecast of future electorate o We are not anticipating a significant rise in the electorate based on the information from the past five years and the fact that there are no new or large scale developments identified in the local plan.

References 57 2 LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 Foreword The Fire and Rescue National Framework for England outlines the requirement for every fire and rescue authority to assess all foreseeable fire and rescue related risks that could affect their communities. It is essential that we have an understanding of both current and future risks and the consequences of those risks for the people, who live, work and visit Lincolnshire. We will use this understanding to develop strategies and plans to prevent and mitigate risk to our communities. It is essentially about ensuring we have the right resources in the right place, at the right time to keep our communities safe. This Community Risk Profile underpins our Integrated Risk Management Plan and provides the foundation on which to develop further detailed plans, as we work towards our vision ‘to make our communities safer, healthier and more resilient’. As a Fire and Rescue Service we have had to change the way we work in order to respond to new and emerging risks and against a background of reduced central funding during this period of austerity. Developing an understanding of risk is essential to ensuring our resources and capabilities remain well placed to meet the needs of our communities. As part of Lincolnshire County Council we will also consider the needs of our partners within wider public protection delivery.
