Councils across Lincolnshire face challenging times ahead, as their budgets suffer additional pressures from the energy and cost of living crisis.
However, a spokesperson said that since February, the financial situation had changed at the national level, and the government has now scheduled an autumn statement for this month.Cllr Martin Hill, leader of Lincolnshire County Council, said: “The government has not yet confirmed how much funding we are to receive in future years – typically there is an announcement towards the end of the year.
He noted Internal Drainage Boards would be “severely impacted” and said solutions were being sought to secure funding. The City of Lincoln Council is listed by UNISON as having to find an extra £898,000 next year, however, leaders said their latest estimates put cost pressures at around £2million in 23/24 rising to £2.4million in 24/25.
“No firm decisions have been taken as to what the level of savings will be; we will only determine this when we present the draft budget in January 2023.”
