The Government and Greater Lincolnshire are minded to agree a devolution deal which will provide the area with new powers and funding to increase opportunities and living standards through inclusive growth and productivity improvements.
A new devolution agreement will see the creation of the Greater Lincolnshire Mayoral Combined County Authority (MCCA), alongside a directly elected mayor for the area. The election for which, could be held in May 2025.
As well as new investment into Greater Lincolnshire, this deal could create a stronger voice for our area. It will bring several benefits such as charging business growth, creating more high skill high wage jobs in key sectors, and improved transport links.
Read more about the proposal by visiting the Council's website.

Lincolnshire's 30 under 30, is an annual event presented to mark Lincolnshire’s brightest young individuals.
This year out of the 30 highlighted for their achievements, 6 were based in North Kesteven, a true testament to the young talent in our district. See below Jacob Lord, recognised for his pioneering invention of 3D printers.

Jacob is the inventor behind the UK’s fastest 3D printer and he has disrupted the additive manufacturing world with his invention. The claims of speed, reliability, and quality were later independently verified by Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), which found the printer to outperform competitors priced 100 times higher.
