Earlier this year, the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) announced a £1.5 billion funding package for culture over this Parliament, £160 million of which is earmarked for local museums around the country. This includes further rounds of the Museum Estate and Development Fund (MEND), which has previously funded essential infrastructure projects in Lincolnshire: in 2024, Spalding Gentlemen's Society received £1.8 million from MEND, and Boston Guildhall was awarded £401,000 in 2026.

Arts Council England (ACE) is investing over £450 million of public money into its National Portfolio programme this financial year, providing core funding to c.974 organisations across the country. Several Lincolnshire organisations are part of the National Portfolio, including Lincoln Museum and Usher Gallery in Lincoln, 20:21 Visual Arts Gallery in Scunthorpe and the Ropewalk in Barton-upon-Humber, as well as Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre, North Lincolnshire Museum and Normanby Hall (as part of Humber Museums Partnership). Other Lincolnshire museums to receive funding from ACE include Chain Bridge Forge museum (£57,000 National Lottery Project Grant in 2024), Louth Museum (£1,261 National Lottery Project Grant in 2025), and The Village Church Farm Museum (£14,085 from the DCMS Museum Renewal Fund in 2025).

Boston, East Lindsey, North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, and West Lindsey are all Culture Priority Places. These are local authority areas in England in which we will focus public investment and engagement to ensure the benefits of arts and culture can be felt where need is greatest.

The Government is committed to ensuring that everyone should have access to and benefit from quality sport and physical activity opportunities to stay fit and healthy.

DCMS’s arm’s-length body, Sport England, invests Exchequer and Lottery funding across the country to increase participation in sport and physical activity for under-represented groups, including older people.

In Lincolnshire, this is delivered through close collaboration with the Active Partnership, Active Lincolnshire, who champion physical activity with local leaders to develop interventions tailored to communities.

We’re investing nearly £100 million in the biggest upgrade of national resilience capabilities in nearly twenty years, part of which includes more specialist equipment and wildfire training for firefighters that can deploy nationally to support in wildfires across the country, including in Lincolnshire.

We also work closely with fire and rescue services to ensure they can prepare for and manage local risks. Decisions on how fire and rescue authorities use their resources and equipment to meet those risks are a matter for each fire and rescue authority.

Lincolnshire FRS is primarily funded by the Central Government and council tax precept via its parent authority, Lincolnshire County Council. In 2026/27 Lincolnshire County Council will have a core spending power of £813 million, an increase of 8.57% compared to 2025/26. Lincolnshire County Council is responsible for managing the allocation and use of these funds.

Fire and rescue workers play a vital role in keeping communities safe, and this government is committed to ensuring that fire and rescue services have a skilled, supported, and resilient workforce. We are taking forward reforms with partners to deliver on these objectives, including exploring changes to the role of the fire and rescue authority and service to support workforce development and aid productivity, and publishing a Concordat on Health and Wellbeing for firefighters in England and pursue improved health monitoring and research.

Fire and rescue authorities are the employers of fire and rescue service staff and are responsible for local workforce matters, including workforce wellbeing and employment arrangements.

High-quality, inclusive facilities are essential to increasing participation by under-represented groups, including for visually impaired people.

The Government is also investing £400m over the next four years in new and upgraded grassroots sport facilities, promoting health, wellbeing and community cohesion, while removing the barriers to physical activity for under-represented groups, including people with disabilities.

Sport England, the Government’s arm’s-length body for grassroots sport, works to improve accessibility nationwide, including in Lincolnshire and South Holland and the Deepings. Partnering with the Royal National Institute of Blind People and British Blind Sport, it invested £1 million in the See Sport Differently initiative to remove barriers preventing blind and partially sighted people from participating in physical activity. Additionally, Sport England’s updated Accessible and Inclusive Sports Facilities design guidance provides local authorities, leisure operators, and sports clubs with practical standards to ensure facilities are fully accessible to visually impaired participants.

The case for investment in Lincolnshire’s strategic road network was considered carefully as part of the process of developing the third Road Investment Strategy, covering the period 2026-2031, which was published in March 2026. The evidence underpinning this work was gathered as part of National Highways’s South Pennines and North and East Midlands Route Strategies. Route Strategies allow National Highways to consider the current performance and future needs of the strategic road network and to inform investment planning. They are revised to inform each five-year Road Investment Strategy period.
