District & County Cllr Tom Ashton reported on the budgets overall the increase is minimal compared with other areas, East Lindsey has the highest over 65yrs population in the county this puts pressure on Social and Adult Care services locally. Street lighting part night service has been revisited and an option to pay a one off fee towards keeping these lights on has been put forward, there were no lights affected by this in this parish but for those areas that were trialled a fee of between £150 & £300 could get them back on.. Highways officer Andy Ratcliffe is retiring from his post. Cllr Richard Davies will visit the villages but due to elections and PURDA this will not be until May or June.
