Local Government: Lincolnshire

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of Local Government Reorganisation in Lincolnshire on funding for the North Hykeham Relief Road.

There is no reason for local government reorganisation to impact funding for the Hykeham Relief Road. Commitments undertaken by existing councils will become the responsibility of the new unitary authorities. Councils should continue to operate in accordance with their agreed medium-term financial plans throughout the transition period.
