Cllr Smith, District Councillor Report - Jan 2025
Local Flooding: SKDC has worked to support residents, including those in Greatford, who were unfortunately flooded again at the start of this year. LCC are the lead Local Flood Authority.
Bin Collection: Recent delays in bin collections due to adverse weather. Note, this week’s green bin will be delayed until next week.
Community Funding Workshop: SKDC is holding another workshop for community groups on 23 Jan 2025, 6-8pm in Stamford. Free event but tickets will need to be booked. https://buytickets.at/southkestevendistrictcouncil/1526726
Lincolnshire Devolution: Major restructure of local government - abolition of District and County Councils to be replaced by Unitary Authorities with a population of at least 500,000. Lots of uncertainty at present. Mayoral elections due in May.
Greatford Quarry: Recent application to vary a condition relating to the widening of King Street which would enable the commencement of gravel extraction before road improvements take place. Road widening would still be necessary before the gravel could be exported offsite.
UKSPF applications chased
End.
