Historically, Lincolnshire, like Gaul, “est omnis divisa in partes tres”. In terms of local government reorganisation in England, this should obviously be the model for unitarisation in the county* - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts_of_Lincolnshire
* given the distribution of modern population and infrastructure, this is probably untrue/a bad idea, but I’m unsure if there is a “good” way to do it. However it is probably the one that could best be pitched to the very conservative/Conservative locals.

Will the next phase of #localgovernmentreorganisation actually land? This Friday, 12-1, we'll be lifting the lid on what’s really happening in the post-election surge of #devolution, and what it means for '#localgovernemnt trying to lead – not just follow – the reorganisation agenda. We’ve seen transformation stories stuck behind the same tired narratives: scale equals savings, structure equals change, consultation equals compliance - and submission equals success. We’ll be asking some challenging questions: - Is Government still fixated on 500K population targets, or is flexibility creeping in? - Will the Spending Review and the English Devolution Bill shift the incentives? - What lessons should we have learned from Northants, Cumbria and elsewhere – and what’s being ignored? MATTHEW LAZA will share hard-edged political insight – from campaign strategy to SPAD briefings. I will bring perspective from the RedQuadrant business case trenches and Public Service Transformation Academy learning – how to frame a case that’s Treasury-tickable, transformation-ready, and removes all barriers for the Secretary of State to say YES. And Ian Farrow will open up the consultation and communications front – where real public and stakeholder engagement needs to start NOW, not at the finish line. This one-hour webinar with Westco communications is for Leaders, Chief Execs, directors, and anyone shaping the local governance future. A frank, informed discussion that cuts through the fog of reform. 👇👇👇👇👇👇 Book via the first link 👇👇👇👇👇👇 The real question: do we still think better structures will save us – or are we ready to talk about the system behind the system? What do you want to change? What's your hot question on #LGR?
