💷 Don’t Max Out Lincolnshire

More money is coming into the county after over a decade of work by the previous Conservative-led council to secure fairer funding.

Yet Reform-led Lincolnshire County Council is proposing the maximum council tax rise, while cutting roads, stopping economic investment and squeezing services.

❌ This isn’t necessary.
👉 Sign the petition and tell them to drop the tax hike.

There is money coming in. Residents shouldn’t pay more.

The steeping levels all fine as we thought they would be but I know you worry which is understandable.

A flood alert has just been issued for Wainfleet and surrounding areas. This is due to the heavy rain forecast for the next 24hrs. This is just an alert not a warning just so we are on our guard.
I have stood our resilience team on to alert just so if we are needed with anything we are ready. Please remember this alert is for drainage flooding, road flooding as well as the river. The river is flowing well and don’t anticipate any problems at this stage. I am in regular contact with the EA and anything changes I will update you immediately.
Any concerns please pm or call me.

Just an update on Station Rd, Wainfleet Iv had an update from fix my street to say works are starting to fix the drains. So hopefully they will sort the issues out. Any further updates I will share with you.

⚠️ Severe winter weather warning for Lincolnshire drivers – TONIGHT ❄️

Drivers are being warned to prepare for some of the worst road conditions in years as a unique weather pattern moves into Lincolnshire later today.

🌧️ Rising temperatures followed by rain and sleet are expected to wash away salt already on the roads, before temperatures drop sharply again, leading to the risk of widespread sheet ice across the county.

🚛 Our full gritting fleet will be out around the clock, with thousands of tonnes of specially-treated salt ready to be spread. However, in conditions like this, even extensive gritting may not prevent treacherous roads, especially on routes not on the gritting network.

❗ Please take this warning seriously:
• Only travel if you absolutely must
• Allow extra time for journeys
• Drive to the conditions and leave extra space
• Take extra care on untreated roads

We will continue working day and night to keep key routes as safe as possible, but conditions overnight and into tomorrow will remain extremely challenging.
