Devolution for Greater Lincolnshire is to go-ahead, following successful meetings between local authority leaders and the new Government. Earlier this month a Greater Lincolnshire delegation visited Westminster to meet Jim McMahon, the Minister of State at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
Following those successful talks, the Deal will now progress through its final legislative stage to allow the forming of the GLCCA ahead of the Mayoral election next May. The financial Deal remains the same as finalised between our three lead authorities and the previous Government with a total investment fund of three-quarters of a billion pounds over the next 30 years.
